Default Edwards marching orders to Feaster-make the playoffs next year

the boys on TSN are trying not to laugh. If true, oh boy, this organization has lost its mind from top to bottom.

Yeah, he should have ordered them to be a 30th place team.

Feaster should have kept that to himself.

Scary, although I guess Feaster did say he wasn't targeting any post apex players if that helps hah

Seriously, before anyone comments on this, they really, really should listen to the interview Feaster is doing right now on the FAN960, then make a decision on what he said. I'm sure the interview will be up on the fan960 website as soon as it's finished. Sounds like it's wrapping up soon right now.

I really miss Harley Hotchkiss. Losing Harley was the beginning of this downward spiral. Edwards is the problem.

Not to "let players off the hook", not using the lack of Iginla and Bouwmeester as an excuse for sucking.

That along with Feaster and Weisbrod saying theyre not interested in players that are "post apex" means that they're looking at getting younger and building something new.

Everyone can relax.

Can't believe a new thread was made for this...It was being discussed in the deadline media scrum thread. Being blown out of proportion once you hear Feaster explain it.

Ya, I mentioned this is the other thread.

I don't think these are marching orders- achieve or you're fired. My guess is that it is just what you are expected to say. Wouldn't count on Feaster being fired if we miss again next year.

Looking at how long they waited to rebuild, I don't see how they are any less patient (or stubborn depending on your perspective) with Feaster's tenure.

Could jsut have been said as a marketing ploy to maintain the confidence of season ticket holders.

I don't believe a single word that ME, KK, or JF say. I don't begrudge them, there are many things that the public doesn't need to know and I understand that, but I wouldn't trust them at their word.

If this isn't just posturing, the bright side is that the Flames will finish near the bottom of the league again and Feaster will be canned.

Sometimes Feaster just needs to shut the #$^% up. I would love to see him out as GM.
