They just don't realize yet they have to disengage and start following college and junior hockey or you're going to have a really miserable time. Watching a bad team sucks

I think there is a middle ground where many of us on this board reside. Most of us I think agree that the Flames have done a great job of replenishing the farm system over the last several drafts but could really use a top 5 pick to really push this rebuild/retool forward. While I still believe a top 5 pick in next years draft is in the Flames best interest, I am not cheering for losses and still will be happy when the Flames win. I think the roster overachieved last year and they will regress to the mean most likely this season and sell off some vets, but I still can cheer for wins. If they overachieve I am not going to be mad about watching meaningful hockey. I think you can want a high draft pick but also not go full tilt with cheering for losses.
