As for my trends as a flames fan. I was always quite an avid flames fan during the young guns era because that is the era where i was old enough to understand what i was watching. Always been an invested flames fan and the euphoria of 03/04 lives with me today. I was so invested that I was brought to tears when we lost the cup. Ever since I probably never missed watching a game on tv or at least following each highlight when i couldnt watch it. I witnessed my first playoff game in 08 or 09 i believe when we played chicago in the first round. The past 4 years I have been a season ticket holder solely for the hopes of getting to see another playoff game and being guaranteed to have that opportunity if and when it comes. I have yet to see a flames playoff game since and im as frustrated as anyone else. On the contrary I would much rather this management team do whatever it takes to try and progress this team to a playoff berth than ever blowing it up. After 4 years of no playoffs I am not ready to go through another 7 years of rebuilding before we get to become a playoff team again. I may not care to know the score after every game this season however I still cheer for this team as hard as I ever did because it is my team afterall.
