I'll still cheer for my Flames --- it's just a bit of a disappointing task. Watching last night was ...... difficult. Lots of effort, no finish.

We do have some guys who work hard, but are simply neither big enough nor talented enough to compete well. And, every once in a while, we get lucky and defeat a good team. It just doesn't happen often enough.

What scares me is that management will say "Well, we might be last in the conference, but we're close still! Only three games out of a playoff spot with a game in hand....that's close, right?"

While not "untrue" it's also not "true".
