jeesh, People dont understand that the better teams in the league (hershey, wilks barre or however you spell it) NHL teams sucked for quite a while so they got some high draft picks and those draft picks will be better than the flames on pure talent. Some teams have it a bit easier (manitoba, Chicago) were the NHL team allows them to get some vets that will make them better.
Also every team has a couple good years and then a couple okay years and a couple bad years because these rookies come in get better and move up. Hamilton won the cup two years ago and this year are horrible. Chicago won it last year and are struggling this year.
Fans just are too pushy for wins right out of the gate. It didn't help that the year before the Flames came here the Knights were one of the best teams in the league. Then McE left to be the back up in Calgary for most of the year leaving two rookie netminders, Boyd left early for Calgary, Nystrom had a short stint, Taritukin bolted for Russia. Thats alot of firepower. Germyn didn't have a great year last year Not bad but not like the year before and this year has been dismal for him. We had one of the youngest teams in the league last year and agian this year if you took that worthless swede and Brown off the roster we would be the youngest agian.
What is real sad that QC was in the top 5 for season ticket holders but couldn't get anyone else to the games and being 28th out of 29 in the league shows for it. There is a good core group of fans (sparkyone, Drunkskunk, Dobbles and I ) being the ones you know on this board.
Its really really sad and I for one am imbarrased to be known as a QC fan for the fact that the rest of the community is just that ignorant.
