Listen up all you with the hard ons for tanking, this better be ####ing worth it. This is simply not a fun team to watch this year.

You definitely won't remember this season. Why am I so sure?
Not long ago you posted about how terrible the 2013-14 season was. Really surprised me, since at the very end of that season, you were the only poster (at least that I remember) that actually predicted the Flames would make the playoffs the next season (along with Aaron Ward from TSN). You were one of the most positive posters that season. Weird that I remember that... but I am 100% sure of it.
This season sucks and it will be the worst. Losing + not much in the way of entertainment = tough watch. Next season will be better with the insertion of some young players, so the equation changes to Losing + some entertaining players = not a terrible watch.
It really is up to Conroy and the scouting staff, however. We just have to all show a little patience, that's all. We won't remember too much of this season.
I will remember Coleman though. It is unfortunate that he is a vet at the end of his contract. In a perfect world, he would have been a long-term terrible deal that you couldn't trade, so that he would be around to help develop the kids. Not that I don't look forward to seeing what the return on him would be, but boy will I miss him, and do I ever think highly of him as a leader on this team.
