Those were completely different times. The Fans became more apathetic to the team because they lost all hope. The Flames were essentially almost functioning as a farm team to the big players. As a fan, you almost 'knew' that when one of the Flames' players would improve significantly, he would have to be traded away because we would not be able to afford his contract.
Flames will be fine. Some fans will fall off the bandwagon, and that is fine too. This isn't the 90's any longer.
