Not saying this is your overall take but there's a growing underlying narrative with a lot of people on this board that they're waiting to get fully on board cheering when this team begins to dominate games from start to finish with everything clicking at once.
Lots of parity in the NHL today. Games are always going to have momentum shifts.

This isn't directly at you but I've seen this argument from many GG's supporters. To me, it's completely ridiculous. Whether there is parity or not in the league is completely irrelevant. Why is Vegas better than Calgary? I would take our roster over theirs every day and twice on Sunday. New Jersey? Dallas? Boston?
It's great we're fighting for the playoffs. But looking at our division, it's completely disappointing we're not fighting for the division title. Kings and Sharks are nothing special IMO, yet we're 7 points behind LA and 1 point behind SJ who have 2 games in hand (so it could be 5 points).
I agree that it's completely unrealistic to expect that everything will be clicking at once for an entire season or even for a prolonged period of time. But the Flames cannot get it for just little bit.
If the offense is great, the defense sucks. If we're playing well defensively, our scoring dries up. If both are decent, our PP lets us down. If our PP is hot (as it was for a while), the PK sucks.
It is incredibly frustrating. It's why I find it difficult to get excited even though the Flames are playing well (minus the PP), I just know the wheels are going to come off at some point soon.
