Sorry to be a downer; I'm apparently really having a hard time sorting through my feelings as a fan of hockey and the NHL.
I hope the Flames win tonight, but really, is it a big deal if they don't? I'm not sure anymore.

Sports is a pretty toxic entity overall (entity isn't the right word but I can't think of a better one). As fans, we shouldn't appreciate these people as good people as many are not. They are good at a fairly random skill that makes them entertaining.
But this is the type of thing that would cause me to stop being a fan of the team. If this was the Flames, and the franchise chose to keep people and players involved or those who ignored it, I would be done. Unless they cleaned house.
Must be tough for some Hawks fans today wrestling with these things.
