According to the other fans in league Calgary had a mediocre draft and terrible trades. That’s what dropped the ranking a ton, so doesn’t really matter as we know those are both untrue.
-Real-
Im good to keep letting Conroy COOK

I find the difference between the “Public” and “Fan Base” rankings for the Flames really fascinating. Generally speaking, fans in the Eastern Conference don’t have a clue about the teams in the Western Conference and I think that the public rankings show that. There’s a lot that has happened in the last year that I think is quite good for the team. I’m glad to see that the fanbase is generally supportive of what the Flames are doing.
edit: OMG. Just looked at the oilers’ result. It’s the exact opposite. The public review is much higher than the fan review. Those are some pretty damn low ratings from the fanbase.

My only thing is, there really hasn’t been a trade Conroy has made that wasn’t a sell off. I am curious to see what he does with those under appreciated assets in Kuzmenko and Miromanov

Anyone who has watched this franchise for the last goddamn 30 years KNOWS we’re MID-AS-FUCK.
Conny might not be successful, but goddamnit I think, that he KNOWS. And is actively trying to change it.
He was on board the last time this team did anything.
