Anything can happen in the playoffs, last year is proof of that. The Kings were proof of that. Now cue the slew of negative posters with the whole "that is not happening, "those were the exception not the rule", blah blah blah.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself but I will openly say that I don't follow the team nearly as much as I used to when I thought they had a fighting chance. I'm still a Flames fan and always will be but I don't think they're good enough and I'm allowed to think that much like some others. I follow the team for so many reasons, I would like for them to realize they aren't as good as they think and start thinking more for the future. I'd like for them to think this whole "once you make the playoffs, anything can happen" is betting on magic beans. I follow the team as an escape to just think about nothing other than hockey. All of those reasons have nothing to do with how bad the team really is though. The Flames being in a playoff spot is like being the best driver in a show about the worst drivers in the world...sure you're better than some but you're still not nearly good enough.
