My brother, Dad, Uncle, and I share 4 tickets - great value seats, whites right at center ice, 2 rows from the way more expensive red seats. We spend about $11K a year on these seats - for the first time since we bought them in the Save the Flames campaign of 2000, the thought of cancellation has crossed my mind.

First, I cant believe what a tradegy it is that we had a premier superstar here for 16 years, and at the same time had a top tier Vezina winning goalie, one of the best young defenceman in the league, and a host of other great parts, but yet did not win a championship. The right mix could never be brought about, and it is so dissapointing. It is a disaster.

Second, the management of this team looks to be a huge mess. From right above the coaches, to the very ownership. So many moves seem bungled, mishandled, and are full of drama. Why does Feaster still have a job after the Regher trade and the Orielly fiasco? Why didn't ownership replace King with Davidson? Why didnt we trade Iginla last week when Morrow was still on the table? The list goes on and on....

I've been a Flames fan since I was six. My family has spent over $100,000 on this team in the past 13 years, if you factor in food, drinks, parking, jerseys, and tickets.... And, for the first time, I'm not sure I want to continue ....

I'm on the fence, but will likely renew this year ... for me, it's going to come down to what they do through the rest of this year, at the draft, and during the summer. I want to see a lot of moves that have big upsides for 2, 3 and 4 years from now. If this franchise remains full of disfunctional drama and shows no sign of repairing itself, I'm probably out next year.

Easier said than done though, no doubt. My Iginla Pens jersey is getting crested as we speak; that much is true.
