Sports has been full of dynasties. Bulls, Celtics, Lakers, Islanders, Habs, Oilers, Yankees etc. I don’t believe it means the sport is broken. My best memories as a Flames fan are when Oilers were a dynasty and Flames were competing like hell to topple them.

As a Rockets fan, it’s disappointing they lost but it was a very compelling season. Parity sounds great but it’s great to have a team to hate too.
What's broken about it is the mindset to burn it down to nothing...lose to win.
That's not how that Flames team or the Oilers team was built.
The NBA problem is that coupled with that you basically also have to be a destination where a couple stars agree to go together to win.
