Catching up on some of the media coverage today...and its hilarious. Brad thought Calgary was tough. They are already saying Brad basically has to bend to Shanahan's will and bring back the coach and the same core.
For all those people bitching at the way the Flames operated for Treliving leaving, he has has now landed in a place with way more media scrutiny and by the sounds of it more meddling into his GM affairs. Leads me to believe that was never the core issue in Calgary anyways. I think Brad had his sights set on this job for a while just for the prestige of being in the NHL's biggest market.
