An optimistic future for the Flames

It's really easy to get overemotional about your favourite sports teams. In all likelihood, things are never as wonderful or as terrible as they seem, but you get caught up in it anyway. A big win, playoffs clinched, a disastrous trade - all have their effects on us.

So the draft weekend is no exception. It's a huge weekend for the NHL, with all 30 teams gathered together. Deals are always made, and that's to say nothing of the future of the league being divvied up then and there.

So you'll forgive me if I get a little over excited after such a weekend - but I look at what the Flames did and can't help but think, oh, wow.
