And to take this further, if I wasn't such a trusting and simple-minded individual, I'd be thinking that the organization is being a little mischievous in its own right. Kristin sure is asking many questions like "how awesome is it to see all these fans excited about you?" and "what is your favourite thing about Calgary?" and "how awesome is it that all these people are asking for your autograph?" etc...
Don't get me wrong, it suits me just fine. These are largely 18-21 year old kids and amplifying the impression that everyone is excited about them is a good strategy. I'd be doing the same thing if I was in the organization's shoes.
My only lament is how long it took this organization to realize that the fans do indeed care about the prospects, even if our previous prospect rosters were weak. The organization could have used the fans' enthusiasm to its advantage for many years now.
