I've started thinking that maybe it was the lowered expectations of rebuilding that made it so easy to support them. I'm starting to look forward to the likely re-load that follows this season (unless the results improve dramatically) or even the rebuild that comes after that.
You guys are right that the sort of changes this team needs will require a lot of time and planning, and mid-season is probably not the right time. There will probably be a bunch of other teams looking to do the same so the prospect of hockey trades in the off season looks pretty good.

I think its the lack of a game changing centre that has made the team very dull. The Flames are a team that play like they are missing their #1 centre every game. We just need some game breaking talent.
