This season, I didn't even bother re-upping Sportsnet.

I know a big part of this is me getting older and priorities changing, but it's been a slow descent into sheer apathy around this team and league. Checking in on CP seems like the last step, and that's more of a habit than anything.
You basically described myself as well. The Flames haven't done anything in decades and its become a real soul-sucking time wasting experience.

For the price of two people going to a game, you could go have a really great dinner with drinks, and still watch the game if you wanted to. And likely spend less.
