I’ve never been like this, I’m the only hockey fan in my household and I would strongarm the remote for three hours of my life every second night just to watch this team play win or lose. For years. And it’s not like the Flames have ever been an elite team in that time period either. This season hasn’t really felt the same to me. Maybe it was my expectations for the Flames, but not only have they been painfully boring to watch, but it just seemed like they were out there playing with no emotion and dying in the night a lot of the time. This isn’t a team that has shown the ability to overcome a lot of adversity, almost polar opposite the 2015 squad. There’s that typical Flames loss that you can smell coming a mile away aka: when they go from leading in the game to trailing by 1 in the 3rd, most of us know it’s over.
Anyways I’ve watched probably 90% of the games Monahan has played in his lifetime as a Calgary Flame so you can save me your holier than thou.

No one but you can decide what productive uses of your time are. The "I'm so disappointed and disinterested I can't watch" bit is odd, but whatever floats your boat.
However this is now the second thread in the last month you've turned into a Draisaitl love fest. I think we get it, you like him a lot. Not sure how it's any more relevant in a Monahan thread than it was a a discussion about Centres (something Drai is not) but I digress.
Just not buying the "GwG" are useless stats bit. Monahan is as clutch a goal-scorer as they come.
