Really, Flames have only been better than the Oilers in that entire timespan. There's been new teams that have entered the league since then that have been crappy themselves overall, but haven't been as crappy as the Flames and Oilers have been.
As much as we love to poke fun at the Oilers (and it is fun considering just how terrible they makes themselves based on the culture and decisions), the Flames certainly aren't much better.
Just a brutal franchise. So when fans have a short fuse when things start going awry, it comes from 28 out of 30 years of frustration.
It would be nice to finally have a string of seasons where you know the team will at least have 2nd round appearances and beyond. A legitimate contender for the cup; or at least not a playoff bubble team that gets knocked out of the 1st round every. damn. year.
