That cheering for losses is tacky. If they have to rebuild eventually (they will), they have to rebuild. Maybe in the process they end up with a high pick, maybe they don’t, but tanking and cheering for tanking is just incredibly lame to me. I’d lose respect for people.

If it’s just about winning the cup and you’re rooting for a few years of the team losing on purpose so that maybe you have a shot at it 5-10 years down the road, we’re different people. And at that point, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just go cheer for a team that’s already gone through the process.

If you’re happy to see the team lose, what the difference does the crest make?

I don’t know my point. My enjoyment of the game and my love for the Flames isn’t cup or bust, I’m happy with this year, I had fun, that’s why I cheer for them. It’s obviously different for other people. Which is fine.
