@Pepsi You're responding at length to every point I make, so it does seem as though you're taking this debate this just as seriously as I am. After all, wasn't it you who prodded me with your "how many old threads are you going to bump?" (showing that you really do care about what I post) comment instead of just letting it go and ignoring it (which is what you would have done if you really didn't care).

Then your "mayyybe it is" comment was clearly you mocking me for saying the opposite thing earlier in the thread.

Then Jiri misinterpreted a comment I made, so I offered a clarification. Then it resulted in a pile-on against me from multiple posters.

A serious, long form debate was never my intent here. But why should I say nothing as people are misinterpreting my comments and trying to make me look as foolish as possible?

You paint me as "taking this all too seriously" and "not responding like a human being" while you're the "down to earth" one with the "chill" attitude about all this. But that's simply not the reailty of the situation.

Let's start this over from the beginning. My position is simply this: the team's goaltending situation isn't looking promising, and while I'd love to be proven wrong about this, it seems more likely than not that the Flames will have significantly inferior goaltending from here on out compared to other teams that have Cup aspirations. If this proves to be the case, it almost certainly means no deep playoff run this year. Disappointing considering the team is in a short win-now window.

Is the only thing to do to shrug and pretend like it's no big deal? Maybe the answer is yes. But in that case I would have to ask what the point of being a fan if winning/losing means so little?
