Absolutely agree with the 'fun' aspect, but I completely get the state many fans are in when it comes to results and entertainment value the Flames have offered the last 20+ years.
In the NHL the reality is, that unless you rip it down and suck hard, you have next to no chance to win a cup, and even at that rate, you need to be lucky enough to be drafting one of those #1 picks that are able to completely elevate a franchise into another echelon.....there's one of those players maybe once every 7-8 drafts at best.
There are very few outliers - Vegas would be one - but it is a very hard league to be a fan, and the Flames are a very hard franchise within this league to cheer for given how obtuse they have been to changing gears until now. I'm not signing in my Flames fandome anytime soon, but I certainly realized a long time ago that the prospects of them winning a title again is extremely minute so any level of prolonged success they can have at this point is a win.
