Shouldn't you take into account season rankings (or wins) with bonuses for playoff wins and then big bonus for cup winners? This seems like the most reasonable metrics to judge the Flames success?
If you take that into account they aren't ranked in the bottom 5 for the last decade or the last twenty years. No one is arguing they have been good but realistically most decent metrics put them in the 20-24 range depending what years/metrics.

Uh, because the graph only shows NHL teams playoff success since the salary cap started. I didn't make the graph.
Also, regular season success in fun sure, but the ultimate measure of any team is playoff success. And even then, the Flames are still only a middle of the pack team when it comes to regular season success as well. Certainly nothing to boast about or be proud of.
"Yay, we're mediocre in the regular season and one of the worst in the playoffs"
Anyways, if you want to talk about that find or make a graph and start a thread. It's all good, nothing is stopping you.
