And LA should return their SC and start their re-build ASAP.
As it is this year LA were 2 losses and a tie away from missing the playoffs.
Did Anahiem have a great season??? How about St.L and Vancouver. .... They all had home ice advantage in the first round.... That is your goal for the Flames?
If Chicago goes down to the Wings in round 2 are they a success? Will everyone recall that won the president's ttrophy
Since the salary cap was put in place 7 years ago the President trophy winner played in the SC final twice and won it once.
Teams just making the playoffs..... Starting the playoffs on the road:
2012 LA 8th wins NJ 6 seed loses
2010 Phil 7th seed loses
2009 Pits tied 4/5th wins
2007 Ottawa 7th loses
2006 Edmonton 8th loses
so out of 14 SC finalists since the cap 6 had the primary goal (or result) of making the playoffs. as many teams scrapping in on the last day of the regular season have played in the SC final as those having won the President's trophy.
This year only 3 of 8 home seeds have made it through to the second round and one just made it because the Leafs are cursed.
What would make you happy to have the Flames accomplish??
