Now a lot of those posters have come around to seeing it's true.
What would it take for you to belueve we aren't good enough to be a real top team?
Is there any results that would sway you?

What’s a real top team? St. Louis, who 12 months ago was the worse team in the league? Vegas, who since going to the cup final lost in round one and still where we do now? Ramps who also lost first round? Are the Canucks and Oilers real top teams now?
I think a lot of people haven’t wrapped their heads around the league is different now. It’s not about catching lighting in a bottle from 8th place. In 04 when the Flames finished in 6th, there were huge differences in them and the better teams. That was a true miracle run. In today’s NHL, legit good teams miss the playoffs.
This team needs some changes, I don’t disagree. But we are in the second year in my opinion of this groups window. And we tare it apart because the won the West last year, but lost first round, and currently sit in a playoff spot? That’s a stupidly short leash sparked by emotion. Last year and this year has given us indications of what we should be trying to change (and the GM clearly saw the same thing given the trade he tried to pull off) but to suggest we are in burn it territory is just emotional garbage.
