I stopped watching the last month of the season last year. Last time I did that, I was a child who didn't care about the Flames.

I'm excited for the year and to see how they progress, but "boring trash" isn't exactly an unfair criticism of this team for most of the last decade.
If the article actually supplied some rationale for why the Flames are "boring trash" as you do, then I might agree. The problem is that the writer does not—preferring merely to whine about the arena situation in Calgary.
