I remember in the 80's staying up until 11:30 on a weekday evening just so I could see hightlights of a Flames vs Nordiques game and it would usually end up very brief 30 second clip of 3 or 4 of the 10 total goals scored that night. Decades later I'm still just as big a fan and aknowledge just how things have changed over the time as it's all Flames 24/7 now with all the games televised, highlights all night, Fan 960 talking Flames all day, CP discussing Flames all day. It's way better now for sure but at the same time it's a lot more taxing being a fan as during bad times you are reminded every day about the problems. We discuss here then maybe an hour later the 960 guys are talking to Duhatschek about what the Flames should do. Taking a step back is never a bad thing as I for the most part have stopped posting during games because it can get exhausting especially during losses. Bottom line is as a fan you should do what works best for you wether it's posting or not posting, feeling glass half full or half empty, creat threads to fire the GM or create threads to appreciate the GM, just don't take things too personally. It's what makes being a fan what it is.
