My earlier thread got closed as it was missing a linked source.
So here it is..
Eric Francis on w Sportsnet 650
http://pmd.sportsnet650.ca/podcasts...l-19--The-NHL-playoffs-continue-to-dazzle.mp3
Eric Francis starts at 1:57:15
Summary of what Francis says in the interview.
- Flames are done. He cancelled his hotel booking back to Colorado and will cancel his flight soon too. He thinks Flames are done in CGY next game.
- Flames top line has been a No Show.
- Gaudreau is sorta a one trick pony. Compares him to Marner . He says Marner back checks tho and Gaudreau doesnt have that in him. Never seen him block a shot. If Gaudreau isnt putting up points he isnt contributing any other way.
- Gaudreau and Mackinnon both w 99 pts in reg season and 1 guy has taken over the series...the other guy has completely disappeared. It had happened before 2 yrs ago when Gaudreau didnt show up vs the Ducks and Flames got swept.
- Francis says When the going gets tough we see what happens to Gaudreau and this might follow him the rest of his career.
- " you can write this down.. TJ Brodie will be traded"
"hes too high risk and makes too many mistakes "
- " Mike Smith can win the conn smythe and the Stanley cup and the Flames wouldnt bring him back.next year because hes so wildly unpopular in Calgary"
So here it is..
