It's great we're fighting for the playoffs. But looking at our division, it's completely disappointing we're not fighting for the division title. Kings and Sharks are nothing special IMO, yet we're 7 points behind LA and 1 point behind SJ who have 2 games in hand (so it could be 5 points).
I agree that it's completely unrealistic to expect that everything will be clicking at once for an entire season or even for a prolonged period of time. But the Flames cannot get it for just little bit.
If the offense is great, the defense sucks. If we're playing well defensively, our scoring dries up. If both are decent, our PP lets us down. If our PP is hot (as it was for a while), the PK sucks.
It is incredibly frustrating. It's why I find it difficult to get excited even though the Flames are playing well (minus the PP), I just know the wheels are going to come off at some point soon.

And that's what makes it so frustrating to read your take and those of you who constantly beat this drum.
This is a game, and it's supposed to be a fun pass-time. Not saying you take it to as extreme an extent as a handful here do.. but many seem like they take no enjoyment from hockey and their hobby is to come here and complain about how disappointed they are.
I agree they should probably be farther ahead than they are this year, but this is a very young team and most of the young core are still maturing / learning.
If anyone finds themselves struggling to be excited during the good times, they should really reevaluate this pass-time in my opinion.
