lol I said that after game 1.

Avs put 6 past their starting goalie at home. Like Woodchippy did.

At least the Flames kept it close.

Diehard Flames fan in all aspects. 39 years old but I am catching myself more and more wonder what the actual point is in all this? Entertainment sure, but I have plenty of other options.

The fact that they really can't compete and neither can other Canadian teams is getting more and more magnified.

This can't be healthy for the sport of business long term

The whiteout is a tradition and all, but feels kinda silly.

Let’s wave the white flags at home.
Let’s wear white to match the main color on the away team’s jersey.

It’s cheap. A lot of white T shirts, a lot of them given away.

It's very healthy for the business; teams like Calgary & Winnipeg are meaningless to the league.

I get your perspective though; it feels like a fools dream to expect a cup (ever). I've come to terms with the fact I'll likely never see a Flames cup again.
Best to just enjoy a good game/series/season for what it is.

Be grateful that we experienced 1989! Could happen again, but be grateful that it happened.

Canadian teams could easily compete.

They just never have the patience and long term roster building tactics to build a winner. Always rush it and make short term decisions to accelerate their timeline, which limits their top end potential.

The only thing holding Canadian teams back from competing is their own mismanagement.

This was the only acceptable outcome.

Hey, The Jets had a great regular season though. I guess that's something.

Wooooo go Avs.

A childhood fave of mine Sakic and Forsberg when all my friends loved Yzerman and Detroit.

Bye bye Jets. What a no show. Rick Bowness seems like such a genuine guy. Only feel bad for him.

Kyle Connor was a ghost.

It wasn’t a no show. Jets just aren’t that good and ran into a buzz saw.

Goodbye frauds.

1 down 3 to go.
