A lot of players did not play up to potential, acknowledging that, despite the win, things are not ideal is not necessarily toxic.
It is possible to acknowledge that the Flames are progressing to be better but that not all problems have been solved. These two concepts can co-exist, that doesnt make the people who entertain them 'Toxic.'
But there are terms for people who only understand that either everything is terrible or everything is perfect.

Honestly, I disagree to an extent about the toxicity in general. Criticism is certainly valid, because a game is never perfect from start to finish and from every player. But I think this fan base has turned pretty toxic in general; here on CP, on Twitter, Reddit, the Discord, etc. Maybe that's just social media in general now? I don't know.
A large contingent of fans seem to prefer when the Flames disappoint or a specific player struggles just so they can say "told you so" and rub it in people's faces.
The way the fanbase turned in the last couple years is largely why I gave up making videos. Just not worth the time and effort anymore. Game threads are ugly, and have been for years... but now even a lot of post game threads are just filled with bickering and are rarely enjoyable to participate in either.
I guess that's what people seem to want though.
