"It was, remember, just over three weeks ago that president Ken King promised a two-to-three-week fine-tooth-comb examination of the Calgary Flames' organization, top to bottom, attic to fruit cellar. Coaching. Scouting. Upper-level management. On-ice personnel. Where they are at. Where they were headed. A solemn vow that everything, and everyone, would be scrutinized in minute detail. Right down to body-cavity searches, if need be. Well, the boardroom meetings are long concluded. The exhibits, for both defence and prosecution, admitted into evidence. Closing arguments presented to ownership. And . . . So far, silence. Nothing. No news being good news. Or bad, depending on whether you believe this is an aging, capped-out, draft-depleted, prospect-challenged franchise clearly at a crossroads. Days, weeks, have passed since the bizarre, Rod Serling-ish media conference co-chaired by King and general manager Darryl Sutter, designed to placate a populace on the verge of revolt. No one at that time seemed able to get any sort of concrete read on how the scenario was going to play out." http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports...e suggests Flames standing/2991441/story.html
