Are we the Bengals of the NHL? Is the fact that we have the Oilers next door really hurting the Flames because that is what our management uses for reference? In the 1980's competing with the Oilers was a boon because it forced us, literally, to become the best franchise in the NHL. For the past 25 years, it has been an excuse for mediocrity because King, Feaster, Burke, etc have always had the "look, we are better than those guys" excuse.
