Hate on Murray Edward's for being overbearing and ruinjng our lives. Want to punch Frank Seravali out Ala Jim Rome everything he calls the owner Mary Edward's like when Rome kept calling Jom Everrett, Chris Everrett.

Yes. We love re beating dead horses to death. But other than that we still party waaayyyy better when we lose Stanley cup games than any other fan base that burns their cities to the ground.

Plus we're so quiet In our own building . We let opposing team fans feel right at home by letting them cheer louder.

And ....our heroin beer soaked fans sometimes jump the glass in our bathing suits and let opposing team coaches rip tongues out of our mascots heads.

We're.not THAT bad

OP, 2 things can be true at once.

The Flames can be the cheapest show in the league,

And we can still be annoyed that young to middle aged working people have been priced out of the arena by overpriced sports entertainment, and worried that it degrades the sports fanbase over time.


Also outside of the Monahan trade, I haven't really complained much of Tre's tenure here. Thought it went fairly well most of the time. Look at the Lindholm trade, we are reaping the returns of a bad situation with Hamilton and Fox, he deserves a lot of credit for going out and getting one of the best contracts in the league in return.

I don't complain about the betting ads, while I don't enjoy them. And I also don't play the 50-50 often.

Nothing like starting February on the first weekend with more snow and then waking up to a beautiful sunny morning... and then seeing this!

Ground Hog Day! Wait, that was a few days ago!

Completely normal behaviour.
This is simply untrue. Plenty of fans came to the realization he wasn't very good before the hindsight stuff. We had a big poll thread in 2021 where support for him was basically split 50/50 and this was before he botched the Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and Monahan situations.

"Self Loathing" is a pre-requisite before they issue you the official 'Flames Fan' membership card.

Its why we also make good 'Star Trek' fans.

Really lol

Kicking a fanbase while the team is down and rebuilding? Some self-deprication is always healthy, but it's maybe a better exercise when the team is doing well as opposed to in shambles. There enough ####ing in the team here on a daily basis as it is.

Here's why Flyers fans are the worst...

Shall we start with death threats to Kevin Hayes based on nothing but baseless rumors?

Two can play that game!

Buying a 50/50 ticket at a game does not mean I love gambling. I ####ing hate sports betting, casinos, and gambling in general.

Just because I bought a 50/50 ticket once or twice does not mean I want to be bombarded by gambling ads at every single turn.

Equating a charitable 50/50 lottery with gambling...
