There have been (IMO) four noteworthy seasons in this team's entire 40-year existence:
- 1985/86 - Cinderella run to the Finals
- 1988/89 - Flames win the Cup!
- 2003/04 - Cinderella run to the Finals
- 2014/15 - Underdog team gets back into the Playoffs
You can guess what the common denominator is.
The President's Trophy in 1987/88? Meh.
Iggy's magical season in 2001/02? Okay.
Finishing first in the conference in 2018/19? Barf.
I'm not sure what my point is other than to say it's painful to cheer for this team. That is all.
