And now my son is a die hard Flames fan that's subjected to this "joke" of a franchise that can't win anything. I've steered him so wrong. How can I ever repay him.
WTF?!?!?!?!?! Are you people for f$%#ing real??! GTFO if you don't want to pull for this team! Why does this thread even exist here? I've lived and died with these guys since I was ten years old when they came to Calgary. My Dad and everybody around me were oiler fans, I will NEVER, on my worst day, speak about my Flames like this. Sure I'll get frustrated with certain players, (and the odd coach) but at least they've won the cup! At least they haven't pissed away five first overall picks! Would it be better to be a Vancouver fan? Or Washington? Maybe the Sharks? Maybe Winnipeg or Quebec, I'll bet they'd happily take those "pathetic" insufferable years quoted above.
I used to come here because it entertained me and it was an excellent place to keep up on Flames and hockey news. At one time it would make you feel better about a Flames loss because most of the people here would soften the blow and back the Flames, come up with good reasons why you should stick with the team and watch the next game. Lately it has become depressing, case in point this thread.
Normally I scroll through all this negative horse%^$# without reading it. But today it's on a whole other level. I say if you're a fair weather fan then go cheer for someone else. Flames don't need you. If that results in re-location, my guess is most of you would take all those years of missing play offs and losing in the first round to have your team back.
GO FLAMES GO!!!!!

Hey man, just because someone posts in here doesn't make them a fair weather Flames fan. I started really cheering during one of the darkest times, and that didn't scare me away. Why even scroll through a page if you're not reading it? There is no need to be so pretentious.
