I guess over the years the organization has lulled a segment of people into having a low bar. Being so familiar with mediocrity and an underwhelming product, I guess more just seems palatable instead of irksome, as it would be in markets that are used to a competitive team.

No playoffs in his entire tenure, rigid and often meager usage of young talents until just very recently. Offense and PP just complete duds.

Not sure why that garners and 8/10, but so be it.
Sounds like you are advocating the Flames follow the Oilers 2010 - 2015 blueprint of just handing out big minutes to young players that weren’t deserving or ready. I guess some fans either don’t follow history or think that just because throwing out young players to sink or swim didn’t work for the Oilers or Sabres that it may work for the Flames. That Arrested Development GIF will continue to be timeless as long as people like you exist.
