[N-E-B]

I admire the way Calgary has tried to rebuild. I think it's honourable. But maybe you have to be shameless for a few years. Look at all the good teams in the NHL right now.

Washington - Ovechkin (1st), Backstrom (4th)
Pittsburgh - Crosby (1st), Malkin (2nd), Fleury (1st)
Chicago - Kane (1st), Toews (3rd)
Edmonton - McDavid (1st), Nugent-Hopkins (1st), Draisaitl (3rd)
Los Angeles - Doughty (2nd)
Tampa Bay - Stamkos (1st), Hedman (2nd), Droun (3rd)
Montreal - Price (5th), Galchenyuk (3rd)
Florida - Barkov (2nd), Ekblad (1st), Huberdeau (3rd)

Even the Leafs look totally different than last year with Matthews. Colorado is a wildcard but they've had a few good years with MacKinnon and Duchene. Same with the Islanders with Tavares. The reality is you don't get franchise players drafting 6th overall every year. You get good pieces, but it never gets you over the hump. Maybe the Flames need a few shameless years.

This hockey is unacceptable. Something has to happen. I don't care if it's firing Treliving, firing Gulutzan, or if it's trading Giordano (which by the way I'd 100% trade him this year or next, what an awful contract).

I will not spend another dime on Calgary Flames merchandise until this mess is fixed. My family has season tickets so I'm fortunate enough to go to games. I will not spend another dime on food. It's time to start protesting with my wallet. If this team doesn't want to show up, I don't want to give them money.

If we're going to lose, let's at least play entertaining hockey. Do the Flames have any of those events lined up where you can ask Burke questions? I'd love to go. He promised me more entertaining hockey. Instead I'm seeing boring uninspired bullcrap. It took us a month to score a powerplay goal at home for Pete's sake. Time to give Glen "I spend more time on my hair than I do doing my job" Gulutzan and Dave "I'm a total train wreck everywhere I go" Cameron the Barry Melrose treatment.
