Sports are supposed to be fun. Getting worked up over losses isn't fun. If the team isn't playing well I just turn the game off or keep it on in the background and stop making it my focus. Losses don't bother me much if I don't spend 3 hours of my life watching it unfold. When I was younger I'd watch all 60 minutes of every game, do or die. I'm too old for that now. I don't need to watch all 60 minutes of all 82 games anymore.
If I go to a game live I'll still stay to the bitter end, but as I get older I find it easier to just appreciate the sport. I have more respect for the Flames opponents. If the Flames are losing I still enjoy just watching live hockey at the highest level.
