No, just the usual suspects.

Some people just can't help but complain about sports all the time. I don't think they'd even be happy if the Flames won because it would mean their self fulfilling prophecy would be proven false.

If you think about it, it isn't surprising that a large number of pessimists are drawn to sports. Most teams are going to lose most of the time. Even dynasties like the 90s Bulls, late 90s Yankees and the 00s/10s Patriots have no shortage of angry fans who still find reasons to complain year in and year out.

Add in the emotional fans who take every loss personal and it sure is easy to get the impression the Flames are the most soul sucking franchise in the history of professional sports. In reality, we're just like every other fanbase.


I don't even blame people for wanting to enjoy the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs and the creamy middles. Just don't get caught up in focusing on a single one or you'll become an angry and disgruntled fan.
