A weak division and Sutter coaching could be enough to get in and go on a run. But there's an equal chance we miss the playoffs and draft 13th overall.
Just feels like Groundhog day cheering for this team. Would be nice to break that cycle, top 3 pick or a playoff run.

I think this is the worst for the ownership and management. When fans start to just not care, you have a real issue. If the question is “what do you think about…” and a common reply is “it never crosses my mind because I don’t think about the Flames” it’s not good.
But what can we expect? It’s a culture of mediocrity, and a franchise that’s had one good run in 30 years with really nothing to suggest that there are good times ahead.
