Flying under the radar

The next person that uses this word is going to face severe punishment.

We need an entirely new team. The only 5 players I want on this team 4 years from now that were in the lineup last night are Horak, Glencross, Stajan, Giordano, and Brodie. That's it. Everyone else needs to GO!

Not for us. The media will **** all over this team.

I suspect it was Daryll Sutter's complete contempt for the media circus, but whatever the reason, the sports media in Canada has a grudge against the Flames.

They will eat us alive. Mark my words. If this team doesn't win the cup in 2 years, we will start hearing about the 'failed rebuild' in Calgary.

I used to think it was just CP paranoia and bias, but over the last few years I'm more convinced that its a real phenomenon.

Ding, ding, ding. Give that man a prize! We will never get fair and balanced coverage from these overgrown suckholes in the media. It's not Sutter though, it's the "shameful" habit the Flames have of not leaking info to these bloodsuckers. Organizations with ethics don't get the constant media hj's that teams like new york and Edmonton do. Just sayin.....

No, we will get a sportsnet segment called "Rekindle the Flame" and it will be shown at least twice a night or directly after a sportsnet hockey broadcast.

We'll be fine, it's just time to let the young guys run the show and see if we have more players that the organization can build/market around.
