What if the Flames get 97 points (more than last year) but miss?
The mere fact that you are trying to boil this down to such a binary yes/no question is exactly my point.

I truly believe effective organizations keep short term over reactions out of the conversation for their executives so they can always plan further than the deadline in two weeks.
I think that's the case in Calgary.
