I assume his point was that since their glory years they have had very limited success- and in fact- yes the Flames are nothing to crow about- but 3 playoff appearances in 18 years is pretty desolate- and likely partially explained by the fact that they haven't apparently had a single notable franchise defenceman (ie no-one better than Lee Fogolin or Randy Gregg) in nearly 30 years (edit- yes I understand Pronger etc- but his one year tenure sort of underscores the point- no sustained remarkable dman in 30 years)
