Panthers - 7 games above .500 above the year after their Cup appearance and made the playoffs losing in the first round.
The Oilers were terrible and one man, Chris Ponger, dragged them to the Finals. They were worse than the Caps and the Panthers.

In any event, all three were worse than the 04 Flames which was the claim. And the Caps and Panthers got swept in the finals - embarrassing.
