It's so tiring hearing "oh we are only this far out of 8th..". Other teams are solidifying themselves a playoff spot while the flames are spinning their wheels trying to figure out we they can't win games. It's just depressing to hear "8th spot" .
It's death by low expectations.

What teams are solidifying playoff spots? Chicago and Anaheim (who the media was telling their fans that they were losing one of, if not both, Perry and Getzlaf this year). You must mean Vancouver who are 3 points up on 9th? I know it sucks being in a playoff race and it's much more exciting being out halfway through the season and hoping for losses, and really hoping for a #1 because, as we all know, a team can only be built by rebuilding and getting #1 picks.
