To reach the promise land you can't have such a simplistic way of looking at things. Did the Flames take a step this year? Ya sure, but they still look very far from the ultimate goal and were defeated in the same fashion they have in the last what 4 playoff appearances? Losing streaks when things got difficult against good teams.
