9 times in 13 years.
Yeesh.
You can't even blame GM/Treliving for that anymore.
That's on ownership.
I'm not a Treliving fan, but I think if ownership had more of a realistic, long term building mindset, they would've directed Treliving to do that, pr bring in someone new to do so.
Until Edwards finally gives up on the philosophy of just making the playoffs and hope for the best, this franchise is going nowhere.
The goal is to win the cup, not just do enough to get eliminated in the first round, and maybe win a round once a decade.
I also find it interesting how the Flames still do have a president of hockey ops since Burke left. Their really should be a good quality hockey mind running the ship there. They would probably have more sway in convincing Edwards and ownership this is the way.
