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

When I walk into the Saddledome and see our (few) banners hanging, including the '04 WC Champs, I always feel pride about it. Memories come flooding back.
Yeah it sucks to lose in the finals. But it's important to celebrate those moments. Maybe not even for a couple years. But down the road, yes.
Life is about celebrating small accomplishments, even if it means losing out on the big prize in the end. Pro sports shouldn't be any different.
