Typically I’d agree that “just make it in” is a terrible goal, but this division is so bad that “just make it in” was literally all they had to do.
I didn’t expect this team to be elite but I sure didn’t see them being this bad.
Maybe that’s on me though. This organization is an absolute dumpster fire. There is literally nothing to like here. The current group of players suck. Our prospects suck. We have no future. We have no present. There is literally no reason to be a fan of this sorry excuse for a hockey team. None. Zero.
And a whole new generation of Oiler fans are coming up because of McDavid. That is absolutely disgusting. It’s a disgrace. But it’s reality. Why would any kid cheer for the Flames? They don’t win. They have no players you can’t find on other teams. They have absolutely no appeal.
I’m in too deep to quit but if someone asked me what team they should start cheering for I wouldn’t say the Flames. I’d spare that poor soul.
I’ve been alive for almost 30 damn years and these buffoons have been out of the first round of the playoffs only twice. Twice. In my entire lifetime. Meanwhile I’ve seen multiple teams win multiple Stanley Cups, and not always with the same core.
This organization is rotten from top to bottom. It’s time to gut them. I would fire literally every single person outside of our amateur scouts and Sutter. Every one of them. Gone. Bye John Bean (who the hell is John Bean anyway?). Bye Treliving. Bye Don Maloney (what is it you even do here?). Bye Conroy. Bye Cassie Campbell’s husband.
Of course that won’t happen. They’ll sell low and continue to get garbage draft picks or sneak in as an 8th seed. But I’m so sick of it. Just a truly difficult, embarrassing, and pathetic team to cheer for. I’m so sick of it. Please, for the love of God commit to a full rebuild already.
