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.

Okay. I'm interested in hearing your perspective.
We went on a 7 game losing skid. After a 5 game win streak.
And even though they've now managed to stitch together a couple of wins...those performances are hardly definitive.
Further, this isnt a team chock-full of rookies and hitting the Cap floor or anything.
We saw our team gutted in the off-season and then subsequently re-stocked, but this is a team with a window.
Management clearly put all their chips on the table to win now.
Would you place your money on that bet? On what you've seen thus far?
So why is it such a big deal when people voice concerns?
I'm not saying this is the worst team of all time, but if we've shoved all our chips in and this is the hand we're playing?
I want them to figure it out. I want them to become a great team that puts it all together and just tears this league apart. But I rarely get what I want.
I'm sorry, but I think until this team puts something consistent together...they're going to be criticized. And I think that criticism is valid.
We got the win! But its from turning a 5-2 game into a 6-5 nailbiter.
