I can say with some degree of certainty that if Tre is let go, it may be the last straw for me.
It's real tough to be a Flames fan right now. We've won 4 playoff rounds in 27 years. The league and/or the refs appear to hate us, and we never get the benefit of the doubt, ever. EVER. We've never won a draft lottery (and hopefully won't have the chance to for a long time). The bozos up north have the best hockey player in a generation fall into their laps and a new building. We may never get a new building because of the ridiculous small-minded NIMBY Calgary mindset.
Quite frankly the NHL's approach to video review and discipline/suspension are farcical. I love hockey, but the NHL is a joke. It's unlikely the slashing epidemic gets dealt with and our best player appears to not want to try to play through that very much.
So my fandom is hanging by a thread.
If this organization goes through another tumultuous change in management and coaching, I'm pretty sure I'm done.
