It's fans looking past the end of what's been a terrible season for this organization and looking at how this team can avoid a repeat which is by bringing in the best talent possible. This is logic and past history dictating that there is nothing redeeming about bad teams winning games at this time of the year as it actually hurts the proposition of winning in the future.
I said it last night and Duhatschek repeated this morning that last nights game was unfortunate in that you want to get those bounces in games that count. Simply an unfortunate evening.

Nah, I see it differently. I think we can be successful without a top three pick. I like seeing the young guys win games, and I believe it builds their confidence on some level.
Having a Flames team trying to win, and actually winning, is a commendable act. You may not like falling out of a high draft pick slot - but that in no way means that we will see future failure by doing so.
If you're trying to justify losing, go ahead... I used to be like that. But then I decided that cheering for wins is more fun and makes your life as a fan of hockey alot more fun. Otherwise, you just become bitter and scorned Oiler fans confusing the concept of losing with winning.
