How ironic. This post at a time where we have lots to look forward to and quite soon.
I remember having the same contempt for the Flames in the final couple years of Iggie and Kipper because the GM and org seemed to have no direction with their head in sand. Perhaps age has helped me take it less seriously. I also don't feel that way at all this time with Conny in charge.
Yes it is dark right now at this very moment but it is mostly comical. I think we have a terrific GM who cares dearly about Calgary and making the Flames great again. The org is structured well and is highly respected by players. Our main owner is highly regarded by NHL head office (an insider recently shared that with me). I am more optimistic now than many other moments in the past.
We are one week away from drafting a boatload of intriguing players we can follow for years to come. We have a GM who seems to understand asset management and how a Canadian team must build (through the draft and development not unrestricted free agency).
If you are troll, well please exit stage left. If you were a die hard like many of us. Take a breather over the next week and tune in Friday night. It is going to be fun. As some posters have already said that is what cheering for professional sport teams is supposed to be, fun!
We all have super busy lives. We come here to share in the trials and tribulations of our team. When it sucks we laugh and when it is good we celebrate. Would suggest you keep it that simple.
