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

But when your examples of having bad luck only result in a first round win it’s not as tough to swallow
Vegas beat Colorado only to choke against Montreal is a tough pill to swallow
Great teams also win series they shouldn’t. Average teams dwell on that series we played good but got swept. I do agree we were very good that series but once again it was a first round loss and if that is the best we can do when it comes to a what if example then we aren’t very good
