I know it's been said a few times already, but as hard as it is to make the playoffs, it seems so much harder to play bad enough to get 30th. Yet, that's what the Oilers managed to do (yes, I know they were 29th one year then got lucky) and shockingly (or not) may still place lower than us when it's all said and done this year too.
It's been frustrating for sure but anytime I get too down on the Flames and our situation, I just think about the special something they're building up North and that definitely helps to take a bit of the sting out of it. Add this to the fact that the Canucks are known league-wide as having both some of the best diving skills and the worst fans and I can't help but feel that it's not so bad being a Flames fan.
