After the Phaneuf trade and then the Kotalik pickup I lost hope that this generation of players and the organizations asset base were good enough to win the cup. Got a bit back into it when Feaster came in. Once I realized he was full of it/status quo interest tailed off again. Now I still follow them but usually pvr the games and flip through them. Almost prefer them to lose but still can't cheer for that.
I enjoyed the "young guns" more because even though they were horrible, felt like they were learning and trending up. The air of decline and inept management around the current team, probably the least interested I've ever been in a Flames team since I was in elementary 20 odd years ago.
