“It’s been really rough as a fan,” says one Flames supporter as some headed for the exits early at the Saddledome Thursday night.

The Flames were hoping for their first win of this season, but instead, they’re now 0-4 and have been outscored 23-6 through their first four games.

“Defence has been a big problem. It just seems like they’ve given up. There’s no other way to describe this,” says one man.

But while some fans are frustrated with the early results, others say they understand the ups and downs that come with a rebuild, and they’re willing to be patient.

“A couple years man, we’re going to be good. We need some draft picks. I like Huska,” said another fan CityNews spoke to.

And the Flames Fam member who expressed concern with defence says he thinks the team will have to “stick it out a couple years. Hopefully new stadium, new guys.”

As for the man who says the season so far has been a tough go for the fans?

“I am like a five minute walk away and I have a lot of fun whenever I come here regardless of the outcome so I’m here.”

The Calgary Flames will turn their focus and get set to host the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday.
