It's been much harder to be a fan for the last 3 years, to the point where it is almost a chore to drive down to the Saddledome and sit through an entire game.
Mostly it has to do with the direction of the team now. Just give me hope, give me a sign that the Flames are headed in the right direction with the right kind of leadership and I can start feeling much better about being a fan. I won't be like I was back in 2004, but I'll be there.
There is a really good chance that if the Flames don't sell off at the deadline and start stocking up on picks, that you won't see me posting very often for a while, at least on FOI. I'll be a fan through a rebuild, where I can grasp on to hope, but I won't be much of a fan through this disillusioned "retool", where I can grasp on to nothing.
