There is only one team that is newer than the Flames who have lost more playoff series.

Sure 11 teams have not won the cup, but 8 of those franchises didn't even exist when the Flames won last.
The Flames peers are franchises like Washington, Buffalo, Vancouver and Arizona. |
I feel like the franchise most similar to the Flames is the Wild.
* Every season a couple pundits pick them as a dark horse.
* Usually in the playoff mix as a bubble team.
* Every 2-3 seasons have a strong regular-season and look like they’ve turned the corner.
* Always fizzle out in the playoffs.
* Never finish at the bottom of the standings.
* Never draft franchise players with top picks.
