Yep. It's good that he is tempering expectations a little. They already won the hearts of most of the fans this year. Despite the end results, it seems like most fans had fun watching them compete. They pulled off a nearly impossible task in that regard, but I also think it says a lot about the Flames fan base (i.e., to finish in the bottom 5 and still have the fans excited and behind everyone).
 
Having said that, I can sense a bit of the "instant gratification" generation expecting at least a linear growth after the first year, but that just isn't always realistic most of the time.
