I am not looking back 35 entire years either, just gets tiring when the result is similar every year, even more frustrating now with higher expectations. At least during the young guns era, there were no expectations lol

You remember it different than I do. Expectations grew super high through the 1980s. Then it took about half of the 1990s for our spirits to be crushed. By the turn of the millennium we were just happy to have a team, and then Sutter made everything better, raised hopes which were dashed again. Rebuild was fast, but core inconsistent. We have a new core now, and it doesn't seem to be working.
So I think it's fair to say Flames have been more like they are today, throughout their history, than the halcyon days of the 1980s.
I guess what I am saying is that as a Flames fan you should expect what we have right now.
