If the Flames win the cup or even make it to the finals with Toffoli (they won't) I will happily take my lumps

I still don’t understand this thought process. Looking forward to bumping old threads for an “I told ya so.” There must be more to being a fan than that for you, isn’t there?
You understand that if the Flames win the cup or make the finals, nobody is going to give you lumps, right? Nobody is going to care about you and what your opinion was in February. It won’t cross anyone’s mind.
The fact is, you’re taking the easy route, because no transaction is giving any team a lock to win the cup. Colorado has the best odds in the league right now at 17%. You could just as easily say Toffoli would not be the difference between Colorado winning the cup and not, and you’d probably be right because the odds are always in your favour.
It’s such a sad, lazy way to follow a team. But if siding with the odds just at the chance to be right is more fun than hope, then by all means, be right. Nobody is going to remember or care if you are but you.
