You have to realize that most people on this site and in the city want the Flames to win hockey games.
You saw what happened when they made playoffs last season.
That's why you're getting criticized here - Buffalo fans were cheering to lose. I can't remember your personal stance, were you cheering to lose as well?

He's getting criticized because he came to CP and poked at the fanbase.
This idea that you aren't a true fan if you want your team to lose for a better draft pick is ridiculous. These games don't matter in the long run. Next year no one is going to remember the March 3, 2016 game against Buffalo (heck most remember it next week). If losing helps the team get to a place where they have meaningful games - then I'm all for it. I'm not actively cheering for them to lose, but when they do - I realize its better for them in the long run in all likelihood.
Both sets of fans (the pro and anti tankers) want the same thing in the end - For the team to play in important games again as soon as possible. You're not a better fan than the next guy - no matter what you want to happen.
