He's a Flames fan, like the rest of us, and that's all that matters.

It actually does matter. It actually does matter if he has lived through the years of disappointment. If you want to lecture fans on staying true to the team, it actually does matter what your frame of reference is. Someone who started cheering in 2014 can't readily lecture a fan who has been there for 3 decades of heartbreak before that. It actually does matter. I'm sorry that being young doesn't qualify you for everything in the world but being young doesn't qualify you for lecturing to Calgary Flames fans about disappointment.
