When I was younger I would let the emotion of the Flames winning/losing and our rivals winning/losing have a legit impact on my mood. It was incredibly prevalent in my 20’s and faded away completely in my 30’s. I look no further than 2011Vs now and how much more I was invested in Vancouver losing. I hate the Oilers and want Florida to win badly but I am not even really watching the games. I was unfortunately in the building when the Oilers eliminated the Flames in 2022. Had that happened 10 years eailer it may have legit ruined my summer.
Watching pro sports should be fun and if it isn’t maybe it is a good time to take a step back. We are in a tough spot right now. The Oilers look like they will be entering a period where they will likely win a cup if not this year very soon with the superstars they have leading their team. Vancouver is a team on the rise and the Flames are so far away from contention. Tough times for Flames fans indeed but it is only a game that we watch on TV and choose to spend money to watch live if we want.
