I subscribe to The Athletic for the features, so I'd say that's been lacking. I'm not really interested in game coverage or breaking down practice stuff. Plenty of that out there for free, including in real-time after the games.
But I think it's important to give anyone new, in any job, time to find their feet. I haven't covered sports day to day, but reporting takes time to build relationships that typically lead to more interesting stories.
I'm assuming every Flames reporter checks this site regularly (in some cases, they also use it to sell their wares), so what would you like to see from those covering the team? What's missing?
