Reading the Stamps/Als game thread. That just made my day.
Also good to see people are as wildly pessimistic about the Stamps after a couple of losses too, not just the Flames.

People see to have way too short of a perspective when it comes to teams.
One, two or 5 losses in a row do NOT make a team the worst to ever wear the flaming C (or any franchise).
Just as it takes an entire season and playoffs to be considered an elite team, it takes the same amount of time to be a joke of a team.
If people trust Peter Maher when he says you can go by a team's 2nd (or is it 3rd) quarter to really get an idea what to expect from a team, why do people take 2 games and immediately want to dismantle the current team? Why do people assume the team is the "same as the last 3 years" when over half the team, the entire coaching staff and the entire system has changed?
It is like saying that every time you have a cough you have H1N1.
Relax, until the team is mathematically eliminated you shouldn't jump to any conclusions. Fell free to critique, feel free to forward opinion and suggestion and (god forbid) hope. But stop with the snap decisions thinking you know more than the people who are intimately involved with the team.

Tickets were pretty steep, but to see my favorite rapper of all time, couldn't really miss it.
Made a 25 song playlist today to just bob my head to. Hard to condense 140 songs to just 25.

One or two losses? People call the Flames the worst team ever after one shift!

Yeah, the team will have a poor period then they will come back and the same people who called them useless are suddenly saying "knew they could do it" and are "so proud of them". All in the space of a period in one game of an 82 game schedule.

Good call, Kirk with a gun is both timeless and tasteful. I didn't think the banana hammock could be topped, but somehow you've done it.
