Nothing has changed other than we got 1 unexpected enjoyable round. Basically all we get ever. So really if we can be patient with this lacklustre organization for the past 20-30 years then yes I'm sure fans would be patient if they saw the organization actually building a team that could win more than the 1st round.

If you think it was logical to blow it up last year then find a new sport to watch or team to cheer for. Who blows up a team with core players in their mid-20’s with a freshly signed top goalie and hall of fame coach? Good thing they didn’t overreact to a weird Covid season and sell low on Johnny and Chucky.
The Flames currently have one of the best lines in hockey, a solid goalie, a great coach, and good depth. I hope they can keep Johnny and Chucky because I think they are better than a team that wins a round. Rebuilding could put this team on the path to being Buffalo or Edmonton from 2007-2019. This is the last time Sutter coaches so they should build a winner.
How about we be patient with the team that has 3 of their top 4 D 25, their 27 year old number 1 C, 24 year old top line winger and see if they can build off last year and take a step. They need their franchise player to stay like he has mentioned he wants to do.
