Frankly, I don't blame the Flames for hiring subpar management people. If I were a hockey management genius, I could find a whole lot of better jobs than trying to please so-called fans like you.

Are you saying I'm wrong about that? Or are you too dim to understand what it means when a sentence starts with ‘if’, and think I am claiming to be such a person? Hint: I am not.

I don't do any of that.

If they make a good move I'm happy as hell about it.

What I'm not happy about is 15 years with 1 playoff series win and none of that is my fault in any way.

Spoiler alert: I don't just switch teams. I wish I could but it's not in me. So I will stick around or maybe I'll leave, only time will tell. One thing for sure though is that I don't need you to tell me what my options are tips.

I mean, it’s a little bit your fault for continuing to cheer for them.

Fair enough but maybe lay off with the whole 15 years of misery act then. I know if I felt miserable for 15 years about something that is for entertainment purposes...nope, I wouldn't do that for 15 years, that's crazy.

Jay Random has apparently gotten fed up with all the fans complaining about the Flames in every thread and has decided to complain in every thread about people complaining about the Flames in every thread.

It's a vicious circle

Jay Random what happened hahaha. You been on this site for 16 years or so Flames made it once out of the first round since then. You can’t defend that mediocrity, so yes the Flames will be feeling the heat till they really turn it around.

We (or at least I) don't think everything they will do is bad. It's what they have done. It's their lack of success. It's the fact that they keep having faith in a team that is getting worse. People say "go cheer for a different team" but you have to realize that fans who are cheering during good times are also allowing to be critical during bad times. As a group most of us are unhappy and not only from the lack of results but that there has been nothing done about it. They keep the team together even though they accomplish nothing that matters.

I wish I had blind faith to just keep thinking the team is doing great but those who do sound like sheep to me. They're just going through the motions in order to get paid.

I don’t think people have blind faith
But they are trying to look at things beyond just assuming incompetence and the worst possible outcomes
No one thinks the team is doing great
No one had even said that
