My enthusiasm for this team was waaaaay down this year compared to years past. I actually didn’t even bother watching a lick of the preseason which is probably the first time since I don’t even know, 2013? So I could see my level of interest dropping even further by September/October.
I know a lot of fans and pundits had the Flames winning the division or being a definitive playoff team/contender. But I was not in that camp. I thought this was a bubble playoff team and sometimes bubble playoff teams miss the playoffs. So I’m not surprised by the final result.
I’ve been on team rebuild since Gaudreau left. So, If this team goes the rebuild route, I’d consider watching some of the new kids grow. But if we get another year like 2021 or 2023. I’m out.
