Kelly just sitting there silent on the topic isn’t a good look on him for credibility when he’s the “Calgary guy”.

I understand why they had to do the interviews, from a certain twisted point of view.

First Maloney did what was supposed to be a nothingburger intermission spot. He jammed his foot so far in his mouth he could taste his underpants. Then he thought he could fix it himself by doing a big two-part interview to explain himself thoroughly. And wound up putting about six more feet in his mouth, most of them belonging to other people in the organization.

I cannot imagine that anybody in that front office is happy with Maloney now. All he had to do was laugh at himself over the ‘rebiggle’ thing and let it slide.

Yup. He's right.

Actually they asked for Conroy and the Flames told them they only want Maloney talking.

That is fair but Elliotte basically confirmed what all informed Flames fans know. Conroy is talking to teams about these vets (as per Lebrun) but the offers are #### and therefore they are not going to just give the vets away. To trade them now would be insanity.

Well of course the media is going to ask, they want you to pour gas on the fire.

Flames probably should have said no.

And nobody told them to go give those tone deaf interviews.

Much better answers could have been crafted to balance the message that they aren't giving up, while acknowledging the reality of the situation they are in.

Sucks to be without Huberdeau for most of the period.

Francis gets all hot and bothered when there’s something vauge or ambiguous he can jump all over and make up some opinion he tries as pass as fact on, on and go on Edmonton or Vancouver radio and tell everyone about it.

Now with the rock he over turned and found what he found with Maloney, he is going milk this spotlight for the rest of the year.

It’s why Sutter and Treliving as GMs kept their mouths shut to the dismay of local press.
