I am an eastern time zone fan, and that's a good way to measure my interest in this team. As of late, its just not worth staying up until 1am to watch the best players on this team play the worst.

I think in some ways though I'm becoming less and less of an NHL fan. Too many horrifically officiated games. Too much saturation of talent. I don't know how to say it exactly other than hockey just isn't the draw it used to be.

This years Flames however are a disheartening bunch. Backlund, Frolik, Tkaczuk and when he's not being an idiot, Bennet, are about the only players actually playing most nights. It's hard to watch. I would have never imagined the players most frustrating me this year would be Gio, Monahan, Johnny and amazingly enough Brodie. Plus we play a system or brand of hockey that is just... not fun.
