Watching my son play hockey >>>>>>>>>> NHL hockey, not even close. I know that’s not necessarily a fair or relevant comparison, but even watching WHL or AHL hockey is way more entertaining generally. Stopping at some rink if you catch a AAA team that’s like 15 or older, like those are people trying and working and making mistakes which is just way more interesting to watch if you love the game which I do.
When it comes to the Flames it’s like/ call me when you’re relevant again and that means go get a superstar and that means bottom out.

Kids in hockey kinda ruins fandom for you. The hockey development journey is a thousand times more fascinating to watch than an NHL game. If a friends kid is playing against the Flames, I'm definitely cheering against the flames. But if he's playing for the Flames, that is awesome. Jamieson and Basha were a nice surprise.
Wanting things doesn't change the outcome. Wanting losses doesn't make it more likely they lose, so why do people wring their hands over it. We are at the low of the rollercoaster, and you need that to maybe someday appreciate the high.
