There's one goal in the playoffs. Anything else leaves a disappointed team and fanbase.

No, Huntingwhale is right, the conference championship definitely means something. Teams just don't want to take their eyes off the ultimate prize so it is often not celebrated very much.
Just because it isn't the most important doesn't mean it has no importance. Ask Flames fans or players if 2004 meant nothing because we didn't win the Cup. You'd rightfully take some serious flak for saying something so stupid.
