I have to admit, I left the game vs. the Rangers at the end of the 2nd period. My wife both looked at one another and we basically said "F*** this!". It was boring and uninspired, and it's the way most of the season has gone so far.

I've had Season's for over 12 years now, and this is the first time I've gone home early. I don't think I'm becoming a fair-weather fan. I listen to the Fan960 in the morning on the drive to work, every day with my wife. We listen on the way home, we text each other news and info and what's going on in the league. We used to plan our entire lives around the Flames schedule, home or away, and we still do for the most part. But...this year it's becoming harder and harder to get up for the games. I just don't have any passion for this team so far. I don't know what it is. I've been through good times and bad with this franchise but I've never felt this way in particular.

The funny thing it's the both of us feeling this way, and it appears we're not alone...

On the plus side - it sounds like you have a great wife!
