The Flames for any number of reasons are really, really boring to watch these past couple of seasons. It used to be that I could only watch the Flames because I was invested and couldn't watch two minutes of another team.
Now I turn on the Leafs, Golden Knights and bunch of others fast, exciting teams and find myself staying and actually getting into it. It's odd my own team can't even get me excited enough to stay through a period.
Everything the Flames do seems so calculated and predictable. Like they won't even grab a turn over and kill the other team with a rush, they'll just go back and start another complete rush from their end like they're a computer algorithm.
It's horrible to watch compared to these young fast teams that constantly forcheck, cause turn overs and then get exciting chances off them. We even have the guys to do it, but for whatever reason we just putter along in the same boring breakout and offense that rarely leads to anything.
They play not to lose and they end up losing the game and viewers, ha.
