The Blues are doing the right thing… wtf are the Flames doing??
But the other approach to this is what has Armstrong done in St. Louis? There’s backing up your people that Maloney and all the people in management with the Flames might want to do, right? There’s there is that side of it where it’s like we’re not selling these guys down the river. We’re going to back them up. We believe them. We don’t want to go down that road. But the other side of it is two things that Armstrong has done. He’s made it known to everyone. Yeah, we’re open for business, which I don’t think is a bad thing. And the other side of that is the players on a team can take can feel empowered by management backing them up and play better or the players on a team can go holy I better pick it up which is what Armstrong’s doing. I don’t know what’s a better approach and obviously we’re seeing both sides. Well, neither team’s doing well but those are two different ways of approaching this thing. Yeah. And neither team’s made a deal. And I think like the Flames don’t feel comfortable shopping guys so much as listening at this juncture. While the Blues are saying, “Hey, I got some vets that aren’t playing well enough. They’re all for sale. Like, give me your best offer.” And he famously did this in 2019 or 2018, whatever year they went to the cup final, everyone for sale. And then last year did the same thing when he ran the coach in November and they got on a heater and squeaked into the final spot. Murray, Craig, the rest of the management team, collectively the organization is not comfortable with the for sale sign yet. behind closed doors, they better be really effing comfortable with it. Because if they aren’t, then it’s going to be hard to find a belief in them as fans.
