It hasn't been one year. It's been decades of mediocrity. Fans just want the organization to do a proper rebuild. They have been horrible this year in a season they expected to make the playoffs and contend. Fans can tolerate an organization that's honest with where their team is at but that's not what's happening with the Flames. If they trot this mess out next season with mission of winning a cup they run the risk of 90's apathy setting in as it's pretty clear that fans cannot stomach an organization that's getting worse when they believe they can compete. Few people in this city are even following them right now.
