I remember when people watched hockey because they liked it.
All this talk of tanking to get franchise players to win cups sounds like big city 'sports fans' thinking. Where folks just go to the hot ticket without even knowing what sport they are watching.
Flames sell a ton of seats sweaters and merch. People like the product. Most people go to games to be entertained (and whether the Flames currently are is a more relevant question IMO). They just need to keep the average hockey fan happy and Flames will be fine even without a Cup.
Should we tank? Absolutely not. The people that think we should are just playing with other people's money. Give them the business and with even a modicum of acumen they would do the same things the current regime does.
