I haven't missed a single game whether it is exibition or playoff since 2008 . I know it's "bad fanship" to jump ship but the way I look at it if a cooperation doesn't provide me bang for the buck I stop buying thier product. Be it food,clothing,video games ,tvs etc etc. The Flames are no different. Seattle is sorta local by almeans as when and if covid times ever end I can literally take a ferry veryclose to my house directly to downtown seattle. It's the same distace as Vancouver for me to travel to except I hate the Canucks and could never cheer for them. Like there is no guarantee I would leave cheering for the Flames nor is there any guarantee Seattle would be much better bit as I see it It's my money . I use to like lg phones and only thwm untill the lg 6 sucked then I swapped to samsung. I use to ride only a particualur bike brand but then I found a company that fell more inline and philosophy I liked.
My point is I haven't missed a game since 2008 but have been a life long fan for the most part( been) watching waaayy before 2008) and I'm tired of spending my money on a inferior product blindly due to tribalism. They need to get there #### together this off season which probably will be a year long or I may just have my out . I can't cheer for another team currently in the league but Seattle probably offers alot of fresh starts for many ####ty franchises.

Be careful what you wish for. I did this when I moved to Florida and I started following the Panthers. Outside of one season, it's been even more heartbreak than the Flames. At least Calgary can make the playoffs.
I think this team is close, but there needs to be some serious remodeling of the top of the lineup (top 3 forwards, top 2 defensemen). If we can do that on the fly with a couple of trades and crafty UFA signings, we may be able to be a strong team in a couple of years.
I've lost all faith with this group, especially leadership (as great as Gio is, he hasn't been able to get his group to elevate at key times). I think we need to retool, not tear down.
