EDIT: I guess this is not just Flames based, but sports based in general
I get this.

Really, you should now expect your team to win the cup once every 32 years. Anything more is gravy, anything less is a failure. But still, 32 years... I’m going to enjoy a lot of my team playing hockey and not winning in my life.
