Quote some. I quoted mine, and it puts them 17th of 30 or 31 in the regular season. I put very little stock in first-round playoff records, because the element of chance is so large.

Yeah, the "chances" winning a playoff series are very small if the team you've built is inferior.
If you actually build a proper contender, you not only have a better chance at winning playoff rounds, but you also get more chances to win playoff rounds.
The Flames have not built a proper contender and to make matters worse, they also have not had good luck in there few chances in the playoffs.
Example 1 - they had their goalie sink them against the Ducks a few years ago
Example 2 - they gave up a game tying goal in the final seconds and lost in OT to Dallas when they were on the verge of going up 3-1
