Although I don't think our past Flames teams during our "prime" last few years (2004-2009) were as good or as consistently as good as the Canucks during their current "prime" years, I feel they are on a similar trajectory as the Flames were when we started to miss the playoffs.
Top players seem to be declining a bit as they get older, prospect cupboards completely bare, massive deadweight contracts on D, and injuries piling up. All sounds too familiar to me.
