The islanders have won as many playoff rounds as the flames since the cap era began.
Since the cap was instituted the Flames have just 4 more post season games played than the freakin' oilers. The oilers have 7 more playoff wins than Calgary during that time. Some goof will say "but the pronger run", well, remove the flames 2004 run from their history and see just how abjectly terrible that makes the organization look.
Since the lockout began, the flames are 23rd in the whole league in Playoff wins and 22nd in playoff games played.
At what point do the owners of this team look at their leadership and decide "maybe trading draft picks every single year is a bad idea"? When do Flames fans start to realize that maybe the koolaid is clouding their judgement on just where this franchise is and how it operates?

Do you really think Treliving or Burke give a rat's ass about the missteps of Button, Sutter and Feaster?
Let it go man.
You're going Canuck on me.
If you don't like the plan that's fine, but it makes pretty good sense to me.
