This 2004 team is still glorified in this city 20 years later and they didn't even win. I wouldn't be surprised if we are still reminiscing about 2004 in 2034.
Right or wrong, those guys have rings to show and our guys don't.

I think you've missed the boat on that 2004 team.
Sure, they are glorified for having success and reaching the final.
But for me, the true feelings for that team come from who they were and how they accomplished what they did. They weren't the biggest, fastest, most skilled team but #### did they bring it in the playoffs. They played tough and outworked all the teams they beat. It's a legacy that goes beyond simply winning or having rings. It's a legacy that speaks to what being a Flame is all about.
IMO anyway.
Edit - and as Paulie said, it lit the city up. It truly was a legendary time.
