Most frustrating season in over 10 years? Clearly you missed last season. It's certainly not fun watching the team fumble and bumble out of the gates but to me the most painful part of this season to date by far is the overreaction from posters on this board.

The last few years of the Iginla era were easily the most frustrating times to be a Flames fan and that's saying something when you're looking at the late 90's. Some fans need to realize that this team is still in a rebuild and not yet a playoff team. Management has done a nice job at speeding this process along, however, just look at the fact we have Versteeg playing a legitimate role in the top 6 most games as evidence for how poor the depth still is.
The Flames are not going to be an elite level team until players like Bennett and Tkachuk are able to raise their games to become legitimate scoring threats on a second line behind monohan/guadreau.
