Hard not to feel a bit bad for Maloney. Dude was out there blissfully tap-dancing on the frayed wires of Flames fandom’s collective sanity, completely ignorant of the boomerang laced in verbal shrapnel headed back his way.

Something about it just doesn’t sit right with me, and part of that is Francis’ claim that Maloney wasn’t aware how his last comments were received.
Even I didn’t think they were very controversial but knew the moment I read them how they’d go over. It’s one thing for Maloney not to know, and maybe someone warned him and he ignored it, or people did know and just didn’t warn him?
There’s just no way nobody in the org saw the reaction play out this way. When you’ve got Francis throwing them under the bus on team-owned radio and even Steinberg voicing serious concern you’ve totally screwed up.
