I've found my interest becoming less and less. When I lived in Calgary i'd probably go see 20-30 games a year and rarely miss a televised one if not in person to see it. When I moved to Victoria 9 years ago I would still watch every single game possible (or listen on the Fan). I find I end up watching more Boston games (better time zone, better hockey, second favorite team) than I do Calgary ones at this point..
Lately, the last few seasons and like Canehdianman, with small children I just don't have that drive to watch really boring Flames hockey any more.
These are probably the 2 biggest reasons why;
* Small kids. Once I put kids to bed and make lunches I'm tired and only get an hour or two to myself and/or wife. The games better entertain me (they currently dont).
* Lack of hockey market out here. Not too many people talk hockey out here, and if they do they are probably dirty Canuck fans.
