I think the biggest thing for me is I need to be proud to be a flames fan again. I know this may sound cynical, but the last day I that pride in the flames was when we re-acquired Cammy. Really even that was in faint hope that Iggy and Cammy could re-capture the magic from 08-09. The day Darryl blew up the team was tough for me as I'm sure it was a lot of people because it was the day I realized our guys weren't good enough to win it all. I like a lot of people was calling for Darryl's head in fall 2010, but in hindsight I have to believe that a sound hockey mind like Darryl wouldn't have let our team become so soft. I really hate in my OP that I had to blame Feaster for being a "non-hockey guy," but it just makes me sick that a team can walk into our building run over our goalies and get away with it. I think that's the first step to creating a "winning culture." Even if we suck, we need to intimidate other teams especially at home. I really don't hate Feaster. I just don't buy his b******* any more. I want a GM/President that can be the face of the franchise while we don't have one. A guy like Burke. Something to make me proud to be a Flames fan again.
