Exactly.
Any one that knows me knows I don't want a site that only assumes every move is perfect from the team.
I'm an optimistic person that tends to see more upside in things in most aspects of life, but it's good to have a balance.
But it just seems that this vitriol has now crept into every single discussion on the site. Talking about the draft ... Flames will screw it up. Talking about free agency ... Flames always screw it up. "this would so be a Calgary Flame thing to do".
Can't we talk about the merits of a third line guy added to the team without an out and out brawl about how stupid the GM is, often by literally ignoring actual stats and history?
Tyler Pitlick and the value of a fourth round pick shouldn't cause such angst.
I'd assume most people coming here are fans of the team, shouldn't you let a little hope and happiness into this?
