I recall the Flames stacking up a pile of loser points in '15 to exit a long playoff drought and winning a series on the back of a player (Ferklund)... Only to fail to make the post season the next year, and barely squeaking in to get swept the year after.
McDavid can win all the hardware in the world, it doesn't mean a thing if he can't drag the rest of the team back to producing what they did last season.
Make sure they are cup contenders, Stay Golden, before labeling them cup contenders.
