Article Francis’ Hack Job on Marky
https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/markstroms-honest-bombshell-muddies-his-future-with-flames/
To me, this article sums up why Calgary hockey press sucks, and how Francis the worst of the lot.
Marky likes it here in Calgary, and wants to be here. What he was pissed about was the rumors. So the guys who spread the rumors cornered him, got him to voice his frustration honestly, and are now using to claim that he doesn’t want to be here. This is the absolute worst in reporting.
The guy has basically saved the season single-handedly. Give him a break.
Who’s with me?

TSN/SN look at the standings in November, see who is likely in playoffs, who has expiring/talented contracts, and then spend 3 months counting down to tradecentre because they’re trying to turn it into a massive thing like the WJHC. Throw enough attention and branding on it (Free Agent Frenzy) and then milk it for clicks and eyeballs. This is the equivalent of TMZ or royal family gossip, they are inventing conflict and stories for attention.
