We've seen a few specifically that disappear when the team is winning, but swoop back in after a frustrating loss to shove it in everyone's faces.
I just don't get that type of fandom personally. It doesn't seem fun.

For me it's the opposite. I was very active on the main hockey board here last year, there was lots to enjoy talking about with Gio leading the Norris race and Gaudreau in the mix for the scoring title (until after the ASG), and I finally started to believe that this franchise had turned a corner. But then the playoffs happened, and no major moves except for the ridiculous Lucic trade were made, and then this season started exactly the way I thought it would. Today was the first time I posted here since the Lucic trade, and most days I just go straight to Off Topic without even looking at the main board. I don't enjoy watching the Flames lose, it makes me disinterested in hockey as a whole, so I generally just tune them out until there's a reason to start paying attention again
I've noticed a definitive shift in my hockey watching habits after having kids, I just don't have the time or patience to sit and watch a lifeless game where the Flames get a whole 4 shots off in the 3rd period. I'd rather switch to watching cartoons with my daughter, I end up in a much better mood after that
