Also, there are two distinct thresholds that people use to judge the success of a sports franchise. One being winning vs. losing in an overall sense; the other being winning vs. losing in the playoffs.

We could have won the President's trophy for 20 straight seasons, but if we still never won a Cup and only made it out of the first round three times, I would absolutely refer to that as a mediocre era at best. In my opinion, the regular season is nothing more than an 82-game time-trial to decide who has pole position once the real race begins.
