I find it interesting that pretty much all the Canadian teams are near the bottom half of the league, with only Ottawa and Montreal above the halfway point. Even Edmonton and Toronto who have been in the playoffs multiple years in a row are low. So, what value is this survey?
Regarding the Flames, it is interesting that the fan base evaluation is markedly lower than the team's actual results in the standings, suggesting that there are more than a few overly negative responses. This team is not the 31st worst team in the league by any metric, except overly catastrophizing fandom.

I suspect Canadian and/or Flames fans have higher expectations and goals for a team and therefore have bigger negative reactions to bad results.
