Or does anyone out there have a true unpopular opinion, e.g. that the flames are on the verge of turning things around, and will surprise us all with a first round victory?

How about...
There is no media bias
against the Calgary Flames. Any criticism against the Flames is not bias, it's analysis. Fawning over star players like McDavid
is bias, but not
against the Flames. Manufacturing narratives around the excitement or trends generated by other teams
is bias, but not
against the Flames.
The current stories in other markets either are or have the potential to be more interesting than the ongoing mediocrity in Calgary and will get more attention. I don't need the media or the play-by-play team to constantly validate my team, so I don't understand why it is so painstakingly important to others, so much that they flood GTs with such complaints.
Of course, I also don't quite understand why it bothers me so much, either.
