from Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun,
The stats show it.
The boss said it.
And the stars on the Saddledome payroll, the subject of much finger-pointing during what has been frustrating fall for the Calgary Flames, are not disputing it.
“Right now, our top guys aren’t good enough. And we know that,” said Flames first-liner and alternate captain Sean Monahan. “We know it ourselves. It’s pretty obvious. We talk about it, and this is time for us to step up and get some wins here and do it as a team. Our best players have to be our best players.”
There is plenty of blame to go around as the Flames have flickered to a 5-8-1 start, and the big boys certainly deserve their share.
It’s always newsworthy when criticism is made public, but Calgary’s president of hockey operations, Brian Burke, wasn’t exactly revealing state secrets when he mentioned during Monday’s morning show appearance on Sportsnet 960 The Fan radio that “our top guys aren’t getting it done.”
