Just to jump in on the conversation that Pepsi Free and Bubbsy have going on about fandom, I can certainly relate to both points. I feel like I am a Flames fan for life, having seen the win the cup during my early teens. I couldn't cheer for another team if I tried. That said, I don't get too down about their struggles either because I just can't; its only hockey after all and if the Flames are my biggest problem I am doing fine, especially this year. Besides all the 2020 stuff that is affecting all of us I have lost a close friend recently, watched another close friend lose his mom to cancer, and am going to lose my own mother any time now.
It's good to care about the Flames, and it sucks when they suck, but it's just a game at the end of it all.
