It may be dumb on their part, but not exactly beyong a guy like Edwards to try and gaslight that way.

Yeah, totally fair and agree. I’ve thought of that before too.
I just don’t care. Been a fan my whole life, obviously not as passionate as some, and that’s okay. Want the team to win. Want my son to experience what I got to experience in 2004 because it was so much fun. Don’t think that happens, or should I say the odds of that happening are so low without bottoming out and getting the superstar.
Just tired of the same old same old strategy for the Flames. I’m not sure if they are actually rebuilding or not here. Despite all the moves people have correctly pointed out, I don’t understand the messaging from leadership. I think I might be more interested if they admitted to a rebuild but you’re right to be skeptical for what that might mean in terms of the dollars and cents for the team and selling tickets.
There are other factors too. I’m quite disgusted by the city paying for their arena. It’s gross.
