I used to let this crap ruin my mood and I'd spend every game just being pissed off if they weren't winning. Not anymore. I had started to PVR games and then go back and watch them if I checked the score and they won, but i don't even do that anymore.

I got tired of being upset while watching, it wasn't enjoyable to me anymore so I quit watching it. Why waste your time on something that you aren't enjoying anymore? The 2018/19 season was the first one where I took a huge step back and I've maybe watched a handful of games since then.

I still come here though, so I'm still up to date on the team for the most part. I come to check after a game and if it's a loss, I move on. I don't even bother going into the PGT thread or any of the bumped threads due to a loss (usually there are a few). If it's a win I usually skim through the PGT because I still enjoy seeing the happiness that comes from a Flames win.

Last season was the most hope I'd had going into the playoffs in a long time because the team was obviously really friggin good. Probably since the 08/09 team. But as always with this franchise, it just wasn't meant to be whether it's their fault or not. Run into a hot goalie most people had never really even heard of before the series, and he legit puts up a historic performance and extends the series waaaaay longer than it should have gone leading to a whole bunch of injuries to our Dmen going into the first BoA in 30 years. I tried to watch that series but after the Flames went up 3-0 in just a few minutes I watched Mcdip#### score after being rolled out there every other shift because they don't actually have a team. Then his next shift our Dman gave him a bump and he collapsed onto the ice like he'd been shot and the refs arm immediately went up. that was it. I walked away and didn't watch another second of that charade. Definitely further cemented my current attitude towards fandom.


Anyways, my GAF meter has dropped way off that's for sure.
