Are Flames fans not allowed to be quite optomistic until there is a cup win? That's.... odd.

Shirley you can't be serious? About to write a definition for taper that I believe demonstrates it is used appropriately in this case but I will concede that your correction is more appropriate. Thank you for that.
And please don't misinterpret my post as a request to refrain from being optimistic. In fact, I was thinking today about the new deck I am building for my backyard and I am very optimistic how it will turn out. So optimistic in fact that I am enjoying telling my neighbors how ugly their yards look. Or maybe I don't understand what optimistic means.
Anyway I get that sports rivalries are different and sports is by nature competitive but questioning when our rivals will be able to compete with us is maybe a little premature. Two of the three finished with more points than us this year so they seem to be competing OK so far.
