The beat reporters, if they want the interviews and inside status to be able to have the direct player and coach access to provide the public comments and interviews, have to keep the off the record stuff they get told or hear about etc, actually off the record...that's not just here, that's everywhere.
Francis definitely sometimes walks that fine line but Valji has seemingly crossed over it. If he doesn't have the trust of the PR team or coaches or players, he won't be given access to coaches or players and then he is basically useless to TSN for Flames coverage (if TSN cares).
