I meant "we" as in Flames fans in general.
And yeah, my perspective right now does make it tough to be a fan of this team, but that's what years of predictable disappointment will do to a person. Been a fan for 25 years, this is easily the most frustrating stretch for me personally, including the seven straight years out of the playoffs.
It's sad that at the start of the last few years, I was able to almost precisely call where the Flames would finish, and even worse, how they would manage to do it. Come crunch time,they simply aren't good enough. They've proven this time and time again, and I've just kind of given up letting them lure me into a false sense of security.
I still enjoy watching the games, I'm especially engaged when guys like Backlund, Baertschi and Brodie are getting a chance to really show what they can do. The future is what excites me these days, which is why I really am hoping for a high pick this year, this is the season to do it in, 48 games whips by in the blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.
