"Everything going right" is the best case scenario; I think Flames fans are rather anticipating that everything will go "as expected," which is in the middle between the best and worst case scenarios. For the Flames 2019 was the best case, while 2020 was the worst—it seems perfectly reasonable to expect things to go better than last year: a year in which the Flames made the playoffs.
Contrast that with the Oilers: everything went perfectly for the Oilers in 2020—that was their "best case scenario" and they STILL missed the playoffs. I think it is a stretch to expect everything to go just as well for Edmonton two years in a row.
