[Body Checker]

I mean I’m going to show up and cheer for Flames wins. I’m not starting off hoping for a non-playoff year. If this team surprises and makes the playoffs well great. But if we are well out come trade deadline different story. But not cheering for a poor season right from the start.

 

[Rubi]

Well I'm cheering for a tank and a bottom 5 finish. Does that make me a bad Flames fan? Or just a realistic one who really prefers a AA+ draft pick over an A or B+ one for the sake of the team rebuild. And there is no denying it... we are in a rebuild.

Losing our first to Montreal and drafting in the mid to late 20's with Florida's 1st rounder would be a complete failure of a season. As an organization the Flames goal for the season should be to draft one of Hagens, Ryabkin, Frondell, Misa or McQueen and that means a bottom 5-10 finish, if that means shipping off Rasmus and more vets to make that happen then so be it.

As long as Wolf shows promise for the season, that's all I'm really looking forward to other than Zary continuing to improve. Also Coronato to take a leap would be awesome.

There is a massive difference between cheering for losses and expecting losses. You can cheer for the team and still expect them to lose.

 

[Rubi]

If we are in the latter half of the season and the Flames are outside of the bottom 10 in league standings you bet I'll be cheering for every game to be a loss. Finishing outside of the bottom 10 will be a disaster for the Flames and wasted year in the team rebuild. Our 1st rnd pick becomes Montreal's pick and we are left with a late rnd Florida pick and NJ's pick which could also potentially be a late rnd pick.
I'll cheer for individual players to play well but I'm honest with myself and I'll be hoping and cheering for a bottom 5 and anything less than bottom 10 and I'll be terribly disappointed.
For me, cheering for the team to win and do well is just lying to myself.

I will never cheer to lose.

I want the team to make the play-offs this year.

Proof that we're going in the right direction.

This hadn't struck me before but Huska coached Barrie in Kelowna for 4 years, so while it was a long time ago, there is familiarity there... also Backlund was on the 2008-09 team w/ Barrie & Huska

Depends how you cheer. Hoping for a top pick as a silver lining is fine.

Cheering for losses for me feels like a, "With friends or supporters like this, who needs enemies?".

I want to see team growth and excitement to improve, then the silver lining is a higher calibre talent to add to that growth and accelerate the development of the team as a whole. I don't want to see a group playing like they're just going through the motions waiting to be replaced by someone better.
