I don't think Oiler fans process disappointment the same way normal people do.
They always have sky-high expectations, the team performs terribly, but then the fans instantly forget. Habs fans are similar.
The Flames' season couldn't have gone much worse in the grand scheme of things. Out of the playoffs by March, only drafting 12th. Cap team, several contracts to old players, the young core has hardly any term left on the contracts, the prospect pool is pretty shallow.
