I don't think they are really doing it at all. I challenge your assertion that we have no impact on the matter at all. Individuals here don't, but a concerted and concentrated group of fans may. There are season ticket holders with weight here.
You ascribe this level of feeling or emotion to me basically every time we talk but I don't know why. I, seemingly unlike you, am able to separate things in my life. If I have a bad day at work, I don't come back and hate my family and home life... I relax and enjoy my home life that I have worked hard to build. If the Flames dont win a cup in my lifetime I will still have a great, fulfilling life. I will just lack the additional happiness and fulfillment that comes with enjoying that type of victory for a team you support through thick and thin. I also may lose out on having my kids be fans, because honestly we play a brutal to watch game these days and have no star power to rally around. Though my Son already howls for Wolf.
 Stiff competition with whatever you choose to post next man. Just read the post I quoted up there for evidence. |
I know exactly what I said and it seems like a lot of people agreed with me. The post was about the past 20 years, as it was in response to an article about the past 20 years, framing it as a failure. I posited that it wasn't. And that if the Flames never win a Cup, my life will be fine and I'll have enjoyed the ride with the Flames regardless, same as you said here so you're agreeing with my original post I guess. I never ascribed emotion I asked a question since you post as if nothing the team does matters unless they win a Cup, it all sucks.
Yes, all fans would miss out on the additional fun a Cup win provides, but for myself and many others apparently, that's not the end all be all. You say you challenge my assertion and then follow-up with individuals here don't. I agree fans can impact in other ways and I should have clarified that I meant in regards to posting on this message board and the constant need to highlight displeasure with management, ownership, trade proposals, signings, team direction etc. That has no impact yet it persists every other topic.
I grew up a Flames fan because my Dad is a Flames fan so I hope you get to enjoy that with your kids. Parekh should inject some excitement as well, and glad Wolf has drawn your Sons attention.
