Old arena? Quiet conservative crowd? Constant bargain-bin hunting for spare parts (coaches, goalies, older players who can be signed for cheap and then we cross our fingers and hope they work out?), a rumored previous "Giordano cap" where players cannot earn more than their captain? (if true, why would any top tier player in their right mind want to play for the Flames if they would have to sign an artificially low contract and potentially leave millions on the table?... and don't start with because of the "Flames' culture," we are building something special, they should feel honored to play for us, quality of life in the city.)

I don’t see how any of this is an unpopular opinion.
