There's one goal in the playoffs. Anything else leaves a disappointed team and fanbase.

I'm pretty inclined to believe that any team is going to be proud of what they accomplished after the sting of just missing out on the cup subsides.
You think the team that loses in the finals is as proud as the last-place team? the team that just missed out? or even the team that lost in round 1? I'm going to confidently say that human nature says you'd be completely wrong.
The conference championship matters. It isn't the Stanley cup, but it's a huge accomplishment in its own right. I bet Thornton and Burns were pretty damn proud about getting to the finals.
