1. Nope, nothing has me interested in the playoffs any further.
2. A lot, its like wheel of fortune for me. A part of my programming schedule. Plus it keeps me and my brother talking.
3. Today, interested Flames fan. Die hard since the 04 run but uhhh things are wearing me down. Partly because theres so much more to life these days, its taking up less space. I find I'm more interested in the team building and roster composition aspect than the actual games themselves. Im all in if they can get past the first round ever again though.
4. Who can say? I think I'd be pretty much done with pro sports on the whole if I lost all interest in the Flames. Outside of racing. End of the day, all it might take is Seattle to make some sort of great statement and the Flames to keep on with this always push all in too early mediocrity organizational team management thing.
5. B and C. And there's a certain amount of joy sucking going on trying to enjoy games with fellow fans here on CP. Last few seasons its really taken a massive turn towards bitterness and dong swinging bravado. Myself included. Advanced stats and the constant bombardment also buzzkil hockey for me. Still just seems like a desperate grab for old people to keep interssted, and keeps media people employed. All seems so forced. More I think about the more I'm getting closer to C.
But I know I'll be back like a sucker for the draft, FA and puck drop on first scrimmage at camp. Really is a labor of love at this point. Less entertainment than before.
