Q1: Have the Sharks ever won a championship?
Q2: Do the Sharks appear poised to win a championship any time in the near future?
The answer to both questions is “No.”

The Flames keep getting brought up because contrasting your argument here against your arguments in the Flames banner thread just underscores how self-serving your position is. You often come off as an unabashed promoter of the Flames organization, which is fine, but you shouldn't act so surprised when people call you out on your inconsistencies.
In one thread, you were trying to ignore the fact that the Flames crapped the bed against Colorado to focus on the regular season. Then you turn around here and argue that the only thing that matters is playoff success - and then ignore just how much playoff success the Sharks have had.
So yeah, the inconsistency of your arguments has raised eyebrows because the only way you can position the Sharks as "perennial losers" is to cherry pick exactly one factor and take the most extreme position on it possible. It's also literally the only way you can present any kind of claim that the Sharks are worse than the Flames. That's not a reasonable position. And to be perfectly honest, no one can save your argument. No one.
