It’s even more depressing if you span it back to 1991

Tkachuk leaving was a good thing though. Guy is a dink. Would make a better soccer player.

If you add enough bleach to the Jersey…. It might come out orange enough to fit in.

Add a new billion dollar event center being built for the team, mostly at taxpayer’s expense and with almost all of the profits that will be made at the new building contractually destined to go into the team’s coffers, and still having no reason to believe that ownership will be willing to do what it takes to build a consitently winning franchise. They’ve settled for mediocrity since the mid-1990s – why think that they won’t continue that mentality even if the new building generates the increased amount of funds that they could use to put together a real winning team?

It started the day they gave up on Monahan and tossed him out. Gave him to Montreal WITH a first round draft pick. In hindsight, almost unbelievable. Just a serious run of moron-leadership. It doesn’t take much for Treliving flashbacks to trigger me. lol. Need to stay off Reddit for a while.

Just think – we may get to see Chucky and Bennet raise the cup in Edmonton. There is some positive left in the season!

Imagine this and then add being an Angels fan on top of that.
I would like to go one off-season without being kicked square in the nuts. Just one.
I’m about ready to give up on pro sports all together.

I almost feel bad for you guys tbh

You can add Dube to the list. So disappointing.
If anyone needs a way to cope, here’s my list.
– The return of Shilly
– Rick, Kelly, and Ryan Leslie
– Weegar is a beauty
– Zary is the best Connor
– Dustin Wolf potential is exciting
– Kuzy potential is exciting
– Pospicil being an entertaining thorn
– Sneaky Backlund PK breakaways
– Decent future draft picks

Don’t forget the Kadri golf commercial.

The painful part about this mini-rant, is the final sentence. The organization does deserve this. They’ve operated arrogantly for years despite no worthwhile success. The organization has earned their irrelevancy and lack of success. As fans? We do our part. I’ve spent years drumming up excitement for the Dustin Boyds and Joni Ortios of the Calgary Flames prospect pool only to see the Flames then finally draft reasonably well, only to then turn around and destroy any promise of success thanks to incompetent management and an inability to hire a good coach. There’s a reason why there is constantly “smoke” around this team in the media. They are poorly run, and either don’t know how to build a good team or are willfully and arrogantly dismissive of the patience required to do so – both of which are bad spots for us, the fans.

Also alienated Markstrom when he returned to firm eoth the whole New Jersey debacle, so he’s probably gone.

Wasn’t Andersson was drunk on a scooter coming back from A casino? lol

I’m starting to believe that the Flyers and Flames are genuinely linked by some otherworldly shit.
We’re only good when you are good. We’re currently having a real shit time too.
So please sort your shit out. I miss the playoffs.
