Why do the Flames torture their fans so much? All we want is a legitimate hockey operation. One where we don't have to be skeptical of every decision and an end to the constant whispering on who's really calling the shots and who's having their strings pulled. Really how are the Flames better than the Oilers?

Oilers
-Hands on owner that's maybe too hands on
-mad man president/GM
-good old boys GM that has zero experience managing a hockey team
-team stinks, 7 years out of the playoffs running...

Flames
-Hands on owner that's maybe too hands on
-Newspaper man president/GM (did King even play ice hockey ever?)
-Lawyer turned GM turned hockey blogger due to exile turned GM again to be exiled again the moment he's let go by Flames
-team stinks, 4 years out of the playoffs running...

The rest of the hockey world is laughing at the teams in this province. It's painful to listen to media constantly criticize and make fun of the Flames. It's painful to see fans of other teams look down on Flames fans and mock our organization. I made note to the TSN article and the fan comments. It's incredible how poorly the Flames organization is looked on. A lot of people couldn't believe Shanahan would even consider working for the Flames. This is exactly why the Flames need a guy like him to bring back some credibility to this franchise because the fans deserve better than the current situation of constantly apologizing for the ineptness of management.
