I guess it's a matter of perspective.
Hockey is fun to watch. It's entertainment. Winning is fun to watch.
There are only 2-3 teams that are truly built to win a Stanley Cup at any one time, then about 10 others that could get the bounces need to go on a run, but have flaws throughout the roster.
The Flames have been a decent regular season team that has struggled in the playoffs. They have a core than I'm not a big fan of, but you can't change the core at pennies on the dollar if other teams don't value those pieces.
Is what it is.
Hopefully the core gets fortified by good additions ... Mangiapane, Dube, Valimaki, Andersson have been huge secondary adds of late, and can make something happen in the playoff this year.
But wanting them to lose so a team's management will see the team isn't very good for what ... a fire sale? Trade at any return?
Not what I want.
Just enjoy the damn win.
