As someone who has loyally followed this team since the 05-06 season, I can say I’ve never been as disinterested in this team as I’ve been this season. We went through a ~4 year rebuild, and the end result is a mediocre team that might be good enough to sneak into the playoffs, but will end up being a first round exit just like every playoff year since 04 (excluding 2015).
I only get to go to one flames game every year when they come around to philly, and I used to count down the days until the game came around. This year, I’m not nearly as excited for the game as I’ve been in previous years.
I guess it’s just part of being a fan of a sports team, the team you root for will for a majority of seasons just end up leaving you disappointed at the end of the year. Is it really worth the time and money to continue to watch something that ends up disappointing you time and time again?
