It's just crazy that people don't want to tank for a chance to actually have some playoffs success down the road.

It seems like Flames fans have a particular aversion to even the idea of bottoming out properly like essentially every Stanley Cup champ of the last 25 years except for St Louis and LA. My theory is it extends from the best player out of our last rebuild being a guy we got in the 4th round, so maybe people think it wasn’t necessary, and mainly how blatantly the Oilers tanked and obviously everything they do is bad and gross and terrible and we can’t do that. Guess that includes going to Stanley Cup finals and all in likelihood, winning one as well.
