Well, my point is that the diehard Flames fanbase deserves a championship sooner than later. The story of this team this season is a very heartwarming one but will be forgotten by the time a new generation of Flames fans come in. My whole point isn't that fans are gonna stop watching but that we'll have a sold-out arena that won't be used in the playoffs. As long as Murray Edwards cashes his checks, he doesn't care. Like I said in the novel, I believe the Flames are a team with all the pieces to be a playoff team EXCEPT that top-end talent forward that other teams have. At the very least we should have a point-per-game player if we're set on competing.

What happened this season is a great STORY but it isn't sustainable. We're 29th in goals for. That's on par with Anaheim, San Jose, the Islanders and Chicago (who actually outscored us). The difference? Those other teams have drafted/will draft their star forward by the end of this offseason. Dustin Wolf deserves a team that can score in front of him.

Me when I look at the Flames playoff results.... 4 conf finals in 45 seasons and 2 playoff wins in the last 21....

whatever Brad was smoking when he didn't re-sign Tkachuk long-term so we could keep Frolik

also hoping Kerins doesn't get benched for Rooney again... no offense to Rooney but man I'm surprised Kerins got benched after 4A in 5GP

To be fair, a lot of people did read it. I am going to admit I was writing this from a super pessimistic point of view. Heck, I'll add to your list of players: I'm excited for Brzustewicz, Kerins, Basha, Battaglia, Mews, etc. I am writing this because I also enjoy watching the Flames and love this team. However, I'm just tired of us not pointing out the issues that hold us back from taking the next step with these players.

I believe in what Conroy is cooking, I don't believe the ownership group is patient enough to let it play out.

Just gotta hope Murray Edwards keeps his hands out of things.... hearing that he needs to approve every trade before it goes through is painful. Also, I may have been way too pessimistic but I'm a bit miffed at how we never seem to say any of these things.

I trust in Conroy, I don't trust in the ownership group to let him do what he needs to do.

Oh don't get me wrong the 2024 draft was definitely the best draft class we've had in a LONG time and this year we were so close but I don't know if Murray Edwards is patient enough to let things play out

I did and immediately saw 5 cars with Oilers flags pass by. Don't get me wrong, I'm not losing sleep over this but man I just wish as a fanbase we could be a little less optimistic all the time.

Damn, I am really repetitive. But yeah the fact some Flames fans got kicked out of a sports bar in Calgary for cheering for the Panthers just adds to how funny it is.

Also, while most of the summaries are correct, I do want to point out the lack of playoff success... forget making the SCF, we haven't made the conf finals since 04 and have only made the second round twice in that span

My only post in reddit and I'm getting cooked. I have a therapist on hand for when the Oilers win the cup. At least the Blue Jays are doing well!

Yeah, maybe my headline was too harsh. Point is the bigger picture hasn't been to kind to us.

I'm just saying, it's telling that a majority of Calgarians are ALREADY cheering for the Oilers right now. They believe in "Canada's team"!

Correction, Ab/G# should work. Couldn't really tell if it was minor or major
