Yes, this year's team isn't very good. Yes, there's a lot wrong with it. Yes, being bad sucks. No, it is not the end of the world. One swallow does not make a summer, and the Flames are just in early June of the rebuild. There's still a few more metaphorical weeks of this whole allegory to go before the Flames can be considered contenders.
All of which is why it's not a terrible thing that this team just sucks right now. Yeah, it's not pleasant in the short term, but rebuilds aren't. Look at last season's Maple Leafs.
