I don't think Flames fans are disputing the Flames are going to be terrible this season, or have a long and arduous task ahead at rebuilding this team into a contender again.
The problem with Edmonton is that they've had a young, exciting, up-and-coming team for nearly 20 years according to many takes in the media, and they have nothing to show for it. But they always get the benefit of the doubt, always get the hype, and always get a free pass because they're just on the cusp of breaking out.
Which is garbage.
