^ Substantive would require some research and effort. It's meant to be a "hey, if you didn't know, the Stamps aren't doing well this year" and nothing more; no stats to back it up over last year or years or insight as to why or what has to turn around etc.
This is just waste of time junk from someone who's shown in his Flames time, to be negative as the calling card. Being critical would be fine, but again, critical involves some backup, negative doesn't have backup.
The editing isn't up to TSN standards IMO; again, if it's about the Stamps, why take up any time in this essay in trotting out highlights from a team with less wins?
I am sure it will be a lead in on the show tomorrow to have Barker and Dunigan on the TSN panel, who were the last two head coaches before the Stamps started the current playoff streak in 2005, to have a couple chuckles about it.
