And they still won a single game in the second round while almost getting beat by a wildcard team. Luckily they had Gaudreau to score that OT winner in game 7 so they could even make it to the second round, but he's gone now.
Under Treliving the Flames have 704 points in 618 games, good for 16th in the league during that period. They have made the playoffs 5 out of 8 seasons and advanced beyond the first round once. I'd be curious if you could find a more mediocre team in that period.

They have been past the first round twice, which is more than then the previous 24 years
