[GT] Kings @ Flames

[DynamRyan]

Whoa, Francis tearing into Dougie. Not sure if that’s warranted. Dougie has every right to refuse to talk about his Brother being waived, and focus on the game.

His take on the Hamilton situation was interesting. The rumours were true?

He is right though. Hamilton should not have made the team period. Few better options were sent to bus it in the AHL.

I found myself being more interested looking up and wondering what the black stuff on the roof of the dome is made of than the play of the team I spend thousands of dollars a year to watch after they just had 2 consecutive power plays

[GullFoss]

Eric Francis just won a bit of credibility in my books. Now he doesnt have none.

for those of us who can't watch, what was said?

Well that’s certainly not Freddie’s fault.

Another NHL team thinks Freddie can play in this league

He said what some/many people were thinking, and stated that FH making the team out of camp delayed Jankowski’s inevitable arrival, and to a lesser extent (paraphrasing) Mangiapane’s. I think he was intimating that the Flames gave FH a slot because Of DH.

It's obvious the Kings are on a mission to win a hockey game. It's also obvious that the Flames are on a mission to play hockey and collect a paycheck. Until the Flames look at it the way the Kings do, mediocrity will prevail.

Wait... are you guys telling me this isn't an exciting brand of hockey ?

For me it was his comments regarding Dougie's choice not to talk about it.

[Red]

Francis called out the flames for keeping Hamilton around at the cost of Janko and Mangipane.
100% right.
Familton was a thing I guess.

[Yoho]

Interesting Francis alluded to the Hamilton’s “package deal”

Dougie was furious and punch a hole in the wall and proceeded to swear at Gulutzan.

Francis of all people should be sensitive to people who owe their professional careers to family ties considering where he’d be without his Mom.

[dino7c]

This game would be plenty exciting if the Flames had some finish

[GullFoss]

Eric Francis bascially said:

1) Freddie was detrimental to dressing room dynamics
2) Freddie should have never been on the team
3) Freddie was the reason Janko, Hathaway, Mangiapane didnt make the team sooner. 4) 4) Said the Coyotes did the flames a solid by claiming hamilton
5) Said Hamilton came across as immature by basically saying "Im not going to discuss [the waiver and claiming]"
6) Referred to Dougie and Hamilton as a "package deal"

He said that Dougie was wrong by saying he was just there to talk about the game. He thinks Dougie should have admitted it was a tough day and moved past it

He said that it should have been a non issue but Dougie made it an issue

TL;DR: Francis with the same crap as usual, is trying to make it an issue.
