The Blame Game
Posted: Wed Nov 20, 2019 3:58 pm
Well I see that the Gander Flyers have taken to Facebook to play the blame game. According to them, lots of blame to go around between HNL, the ECSHL, the Cee Bees, and the WCSHL.
Maybe if they took a step back and realized no other team wants to work them or the Cataracts (and there are currently 9 other senior teams in the province at the moment) then they would really see who is to blame here and that would be themselves. Icing expensive semi-pro teams was not in anyone’s best interest and clearly not sustainable in the long term (All you have to do is look at the Clarenville Caribous who just a few years ago were the prime example of this).
All the other teams and leagues want is a level playing field and they weren’t going to get that by playing interlocking with the current versions of the Flyers and Cataracts. We’ve had the same 3 teams win the Herder in the past 15 years, it’s time for change and that’s what we have now with 1 league already started their season and the other league about to start this weekend.
The Flyers and Cataracts can cry all they want on social media blaming everyone else but I’m not buying it and I hope any level headed unbiased individual looking in from the outside is also not buying it. They made their bed and now it’s time to lie in it.
