But this is it in a nutshell: There are a lot of Flames fans like you who will take mediocrity and like it. Well, until they get bored and move on.

Does the “don’t spend money on this team” crowd that does nothing but complain actually think they’re any more worthy of the “fan” title than casuals that get bored and move on?
Really do you support the team? Because you don’t cheer for them… and if you’re paying for seasons tickets for a product you don’t enjoy… the joke is on you.
The nice thing about actually enjoying hockey and knowing that winning, since it’s completely out of your control, is a bonus, is that you actually don’t get bored. And you don’t get hung up on off-season stuff because as fun as it is to evaluate trades and draft picks and talk rumours or whatever, the game is played on the ice.
No disrespect to a lot of guys on the board who are just emotional. I get it. You’re in for the highs and lows. Lots of them here. But guys who just seem miserable about the team and advocate not spending a dime on them? I don’t get it. That defeats the entire point of being a fan. I’m not one just to say I am, I want to actually go watch games and cheer for even pointless wins.
Everyone wants the team to succeed. There’s a difference between wanting it and needing it before you can actually enjoy yourself.
