And you don't know the bolded part for sure. Maybe the other teams realize that the Flames can score goals and put their back ups in because they don't want to get their starters confidence lowered, see I can make assumptions and pie in the sky predictions also. I am just saying, if you want to spend all of the time watching the games, and evaluating them afterwards looking for the negatives in why the Flames are where they are then it must be terrible HAVING to watch such a terrible thing. I watch the Flames, and my Flyers, because it is enjoyable to watch, win or lose, and not to analyze how crappy they are doing.

Well good for you then, I watch the Flames when they are doing well and think about how they can be even better and when they suck I think about how they can do better. I would say a very small minority of fans watch games for the sole purpose of something to do without ever pondering what can be done to improve their team. In fact I cannot even think of a sports fan I know who does not have an opinion on how their teams can get better. Right now in my opinion the way for the Flames to get better is for them to trade away the vast majority of their aging assets for younger players, prospects and picks and regroup in the summer. Others have a different opinion. But I would say very few fans just watch without any analysis.
