Look how well elite coach Joel Quenneville has worked out in Florida. What’s their excuse?
If you’re considering becoming a fan of Seattle because the Flames hired Geoff Ward maybe hockey isn’t for you.

Well look at the Islanders under Trotz. It matters a lot. I don't fault any fan reconsidering their commitment to this team. I'm actually a little in that boat. I'm not going to cheer for another team or quit being a Flames fan but I'm just not feeling invested in Treliving's Flames. It started eroding after the Gulutzan hire and it's just continuing as the direction seems to be a whole lot of meh. I know there's going to be no cup or extended success and that kind of takes the fun out of being a fan as there's no hope, just hopelessness until the next GM gets hired and we have to start this all over again.
