If any of the younger fans wanted to what it was like to be a Flames fan from 1989-90 to 1994-95 this is how it felt. Good regular seasons met with frustrating first round exits with plenty of choke jobs. The organization hasn't won a single playoff series with home ice advantage since winning the cup in 1989. It was in the back of my head when the playoffs started as losing this series would be such a Flames thing to do.
If you take the playoff curse out of the picture it was still an amazing regular season and I look forward to this team learning from what happend after the all-star break and hopefully moving on to better things next April.
