In my opinion, at this juncture it isnt that big a deal.
Making the playoffs is a step towards the goal of contending to win a cup and at the moment all roads to Glory run through Anaheim, Los Angeles and Chicago.
If this Flames team had made the playoffs they're getting stopped cold by all 3 of those teams.
Grow, build, and allow those teams to decline and age. This season its not really a big deal, next season would be disappointing but not critical but not making it the season after that would be an under-achievement.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
