Late season runs rarely translate into success the following year.
My sentiments exactly but we have 0 control over it.

I am getting flashbacks to young guns years. They worked so hard to squeeze into 11th, 12th place every year and end up with duds like Nystrom, Kobasew, Krahn and so on. The "young plucky small-market team gritting out a few wins against Detroit late in the season really showed what they were made of" narrative.
