I honestly feel like I deserve this. I've been a slave to this team since about 1995 and all I had to show was 2004 (still a minor at the time) and 2015, which admittedly, was a blast.
But year in and year out it's been mediocrity, falling below expectations, or just plain crap.
I'm soaking this in and enjoying it a lot, and we all should. We've been through a lot fellow Flames fans.
Last Year: Would half-ass watch games while doing other things. Just absolutely sick of 20+ years of losing.
This Year: plan my evenings and weekends around watching the games
Last Year: Hoped beyond hope for players to individually have good seasons despite the worst coach ever
This Year: Looking forward to having two 100+ point players and likely 4 to 5 ppg players.
Last Year: Worried constantly about goaltending
This Year: Rittich - what a revelation!
