I have found people on this board to be respectful when differing views are posted in a respectful manner. If you are receiving a different treatment, well a person can only draw one conclusion.
Remember when we had great new posters like ThePresident? man, those were the days...

Important distinctions.
You must also know that sports are cyclical, and all things being equal, each team has the same opportunity as any other to excel each season.
If you are so unhappy with the Flames, who appear to be on an upward trend, perhaps you could cheer for another franchise?

WTF, the NHL teams take a cut from most of the things you listed. We must be cyclically bad for years I guess?
Why change when your profits are maximized?
