Most Flames fans are miserable because the way the organization operates never changes nor do the results. Since 2008 it's largely been teams outside of the playoffs with a small handful of good seasons sprinkled in. This is one of the least successful organizations in the NHL that's pretty well eroded all the goodwill they built in 2004 as things are trending back to pre-2004 levels of fan indifference around the city and southern Alberta. I'm pulling for Conroy but the organizational mandate provides him pretty well zero margins for error as he has to draft better than the rest of the league and win blockbuster trades for this to work out the way they want. I would love it if they could pull it off but it's not very realistic at all.
