Oh man. You never want to be the guy 'telling it like it is'.
Anyone that says that (particularly on the interwebs) is just generally wacka-doodle.

So when your watching those practices how hard is Ortio working to get that earned title?

I'm actually taking a full week off from everything Flames right now. I have never been this upset with the team.

At least the down years were gradual, and my expectations were low.

Now? I'm actually angry. I don't want to be angered by entertainment.

The crying about the broadcasts goes up exponentially when we play bad, literally the definition of throwing a tantrum cause the team is losing.

Not even during the 8 game losing streak last season was I this upset, and it's not close either.

Did you miss the part where Edmonton's four 1st overall picks each scored and the Flames got completely dominated in their own building?

This is a legitimate reason to be upset.

I guess you guys missed 2010 to 2014 and you certainly missed 97 to 03 then. Oh no my teams started 1-4 and lost to our rivals for the first time in forever, I'm so mad I've lost all perspective!

I've been pissed with the Flames, but I've never been this upset. Not even close.

I have never been this optimistic about our future only to be humiliated on home ice by a squad I hate more than most things worth hating in this world.

We have won once -- and it was in overtime. We gave up 3 of 4 points to the freakin' Canucks to start the season.

THIS game was the game I looked forward to getting on track with. The game I could start to validate my optimism with.

But no. I watch McJesus treat our team like a bunch of garbage. All after I joked repeatedly to anyone that would listen isn't as great as everyone keeps waxing about. "The next Daigle!" I would joke to friends.

The 'Next Daigle' just carved the team I confidently talked playoffs about.

So yes. I've been around a while, and been frustrated. But I rarely let myself get ANGRY over sports. But right now? I'm actually angry.

There's no need to be ANGRY. Sports are just meaningless entertainment, ultimately.
