To me, there's nothing intense about watching teams limp into a lottery pick. I want the playoffs, I want the battle to the playoffs. That's why I watch hockey.

Yeah. You're right. Losing sucks. Losing for months and months on end reeeeeally sucks. The last time the Flames were a "playoff" team was somewhere around October, November.
Unbelievable.
Since that time, there has been very little to be excited about, except for the race to the draft imo. For me, it's a distraction from the horrific on-ice product that is the 2015/16 Calgary-flirting-with-last-place-Flames.
I look at the Oilers, and I see an addict, barely scraping bye, holding onto anything that may represent some grim hope that better times are ahead. A blast of heroin here, a first over-all pick there. Its all the same escape. Fleeting moments of ecstasy before you wake up to the horror of your urine soaked reality.....
I'm really drunk and I forgot where I was going with this...
Excelsior!!!!
