I think most Flames fans would hope the reality is better but it's probably a good base for expectations.
I totally agree (although I also think the "realist" self-designation is far too frequently adopted as a cover for pessimism). And I also appreciate and respect those of you who are just as prepared to call out poor performances as you are clearly happy with good ones. What I have absolutely no time for are the guys who never have anything good to say; never seem to be interested in seeing the team do well; never on hand to celebrate the small victories; never do anything here but whine, bitch and complain about management, about coaches, about players, about other posters, about seemingly everything.

You and a few others are definitely not the problem.
