If the Oilers fanbase could tolerate a long rebuild (or consecutive rebuilds depending on how you look at it), then the Flames should be able to. I don't want to believe that their fanbase is more dedicated and resilient than the Flames fanbase.
If I made it through the Young Guns era and the current mediocrity, I could live through an actual rebuild.
Of course, I am not a season ticket holder and don't invest a tonne of money on the Flames, so my own allegiance isn't what the owners are concerned about.
