There were some real jump out of your seat memories that season, I still remember certain game and goals and how much I enjoyed watching them like the 4-3 OT win over the Avs.
At least I was getting value for my time as a fan committing 3 hours a game to watch Flames hockey.
Solid entertainment value and excitement as a hockey fan, even though the playoff loss to the Oilers really sucked.
I also felt that team could come back the next season and maybe get further; that they would be around the top competitive teams for a while and have another shot at it.
Last season was the lowest of lows where it wasn't even enjoyable to watch games. Just don't give me that level of garbage again.

Yeah, that season was amazing to watch. Incredible creative hockey and a ton of talent. I do disagree with you though about last season being the lowest of lows. I still remember watching the Flames pre-Iginla's arrival. Last season doesn't even come close to those years for me. Missing the playoffs by January for me isn't even in the ballpark of missing the playoffs in the last 2 weeks of the season.
