I’m not sure what ‘asking hard questions’ gets you other than acrimony between players, management, the press, and fans.
The people involved with the Flames need Francis to ask them before they realize they’ve not been deep in the playoffs for 20 years?
As fans, you have to hope the right people land the job in steering the organization. Ultimately we don’t have a say in who is hired or fired, and that won’t change even if we had media regularly reminding the owner or president or gm about the lack of cups.
