All I'll say is this. This flames team has built up a lot of negativity, with the year over year inconcistentcy, then the complete embarrassment of a performance last year.
Fan's have lived thru the full cycle of being garbage, rebuilding, and this is the absolute prime Time for the core. There aren't any bluechippers coming. The youth are getting their $ and in their primes, and our primary vets are in the last year's of their prime.
This team doesn't have a lot of blind faith at this point. It's a smart fan base that can see whether the rebuild has been successful in building a contender or if they top out as a mediocre team.
As such, there's less patience, and more cynism/skeptisicm even compared to last year.
Anyways, hopefully the flames can win the next game. This is definitely a winnable series, heck they were a few seconds away from being up 3-1 somehow.

I probably wasn't targeting you, I don't know the posts that I'm talking about have blurred into one big ball of stuff.
I'm all about criticizing the team for poor efforts, that's natural and that's being a fan, its gone so far over the top in terms of negative. People with the series over BS, or ripping down the group of players after a loss that's not based on their play but a feel of long term hatred or bias against them.
Then there's the group that comes on and throws insults at other members of this board for not climbing on board with their hatred and rage.
The Flames fan base is one of the only fanbases that almost mourns their fandom instead of celebrating it.
the whole for the told you so crowd, the I hate these specific players, your a homer because your not blasting then and seeing my brilliance has become annoying and almost makes threads un readable.
Frankly can we not do funeral until the series is over, not rip the team apart until the autopsy is performed and not distribute the assets until the will is probated.
Go ahead criticize the teams effort and player efforts and mistakes, but its gotten so over the top over the last few years that these discussion threads teeter dangerously close to this sucks to read through it territory.
