For sure, its obviously preferable that they leave it all out there no matter the result. But man, this team is due for a first round win. Its almost unbearable to think they could be out in round 1, yet again. This fanbase deserves a better fate. The Flames must win this thing. The silver lining is I actually think this year things are different and the Flames are the better team, and will make it happen. But if it doesn't, given the year they had, its going to be a super tough pill to swallow. Expectations have to be for this team to make noise in the playoffs at this point. No one can be satisfied with a first round exit (team or fans).
