I'm not sure the fanbase is behind the current team as they are today. The Flames are the Minnesota Wild of Canadian teams. Least sexy roster in the country. No franchise players and very little hope of winning a Stanley Cup. IMO post-pandemic could be ugly for this franchise as apathy started to settle in prior to the pandemic as there were lots of empty seats at the dome. There's very little buzz in this city regarding the Flames and you barely see anyone wearing Flames colors or water cooler talk.
