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.

Lots of hopes dashed for sure, in different ways and different times. The one year we did everything right, everything worked out for us ( until the end) the NHL screws us over... when we arent messing things up ourselves ( rare) the NHL is doing it for us.
