I still love hockey. I enjoy watching playoff hockey more when it isn't my own team playing. I just enjoy watching the competition. That said, I hate unfairness and the officiating is so poor that it always creates an unfair advantage for one team or another. Intentional or not, it does. That ruins some of my enjoyment.
Now here is my problem. The Flames are my first true love. I've been a fan since I was a little boy and they moved to Calgary. How can I quit the Flames after nearly 40 years? It's hard to. It's the only thing I know. It leaves me conflicted.
It's hard.

The issue isn’t how do you quit the Flames or hockey if that’s how you feel. Clearly you need to get some other passions to be excited about as well if the feeling you are describing lasts at that level or much more than 24hrs of any season being done, maybe a bit longer if we lose in the finals.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t care, or feel anything, but to your point you don’t seem to enjoy it at all but I just wonder if that giving it up isn’t truly the solution you need.
