Why wallow in the numbers, the underlying stats, that suggest Calgary's not good right now. Instead, enjoy what's happening right now, realizing that this team is only going to get better.
Why are they mutually exclusive? Why can't a fan enjoy a winning run, and also recognize that it's unlikely to continue?

I really hope this fanbase doesn't develop a reputation as a bunch of snivelers who dismiss advanced stats because they suggest things we don't want to hear. Let's be better than Oilers and Leafs fans.
