I've been a Flames fan ever since. But I'm not a cheerleader. And like other areas I demand excellence. So if I see anything less than excellent, I consider it a failure. I'm a tough crowd that way. Me identifying less-than-excellent as unacceptable probably gets interpreted as negativity. Perhaps that's a fair characterization, that's up to others to decide.
I've sat through a lot of mediocrity over the years with the Flames.

Great summary.
I like it. So you're just a tough grader then. You know what, that's just fine.
Cheers on rebelling against the insufferable No Goods as a young man in Northern AB and the Steve Smith own goal nugget. That was awesome.
