I've been proud about how the Flames have handled things like Kylington's issues, Chris Snow, Johnny and his family, etc. And I haven't heard ex players say much bad about the Flames have you?

But never miss a chance to take a crap all over the team you "cheer" for.
You're a difficult debate if your opening position is the facilities they have to deal with for every game and practice have nothing to do with how they treat people.

As for Chris Snow, Johnny, and no one S-talking the org. Well that's essentially 30 teams in the league in my opinion that do the same. I'm not the kind of person that gives points for not doing crappy things as some type of achievement.

If you want to be proud, be proud. Objectively I disagree and prefer not to hang my hat on this bare minimum metric as to why I'm a fan. For me, it's down to I like Conroy / I like Iggy, nostalgic memories that I made with my friends going to games and civic pride for my hometown. Poor on ice performance I've learned to handle, Peters was a test, the Arena deal being renegotiated isn't something I like being brought up in mixed company...and of course Dube...

If you ever go to Dallas, send me a PM, I'll pay for your ticket to do the tour of the stadium. When you're on the field kicking field goals and touring the dressing rooms I want you to self reflect on how your team treats you.
