It's not only time to stop watching but it's also time to start hoping the Flames don't win another game this year.
For too long the Flames have been a middling team. In order to be great, you first need to be terrible. This is how you create an influx of high end talent on entry level deals. The Flames are the kings of barely making the playoffs or barely missing them. This is literally the worst spot in professional sports, the middle. Either be great or be great at being bad. Pick an end of the spectrum but get the hell out of the middle!
If the Flames continue to lose, maybe just MAYBE they'll realize it's time to shake things up. My hope is they eat half of Johhny's contract and trade him to a contender for blue chip prospects. I hope they do the same with Gio. Then tank this year and possibly next only to emerge on the other side with a restocked cupboard.
We all know this team is not winning the cup this year. If that is the case, how will this same group magically be great next year? If both of those things are true, then it's time to retool on the fly. I'm so sick of watching this team give zero f###s!
