Hurricanes have made the playoffs 4 times in the last 18 seasons. It just so happens that they have also made the conference final every single time. For comparisons sake, the worst run organization in the league (Edmonton) has made the playoffs three times in that span. Flames have made it in 8 times.
I would call that more good fortune than a consistent contender. I won't be surprised to see them drop off again next year.
