Starting to think ...
(Value of strong finish > Value of tanking) > (Value of 4/5 pick < Value of Picks 1-3)
or Draisatl and Flames finish with a positive vibe may be more important than say Reinhart and winning only one of their last 9

I would say this is altered by how losses happen, not just losses. If the Flames play a lot of 1 goal games like they have all year, losses still aren't fun, but they're not drubbings which would do more to add to a losing culture imo.
