But most Flames' fans would argue those times were actually a waste of those player's primes and that those teams underachieved greatly and were overall extremely disappointing. Watching your team score a ton of goals gets washed out when you get bumped in round 1...again. At some point, winning rounds makes your team successful.

I think that is an inaccurate representation of the post 06 Flames. We’re those teams that fun to watch? They finished in the bottom for goals scored in some years and in years where the offense would pop the goaltending/defense suffered. Outside of the 05/06 season (low scoring but won the division and Jennings) and the 08/09 season (fun team that coughed up a 13pt division lead in the second half due to injuries) the post lockout Flames were not really good or entertaining.
