No one in this thread said anything about the Flames being a contender, even dino. The Flames are outside of the playoffs and likely do not make it, as they have a lot of teams to jump over. However, if they do, then dino is saying that they will have been on one hell of a run - which is true. The odds of that happening are low.
The OP was also about how often teams that just make it tend to go on a run - that's it. It's higher than some (myself included) would imagine. I think everyone would agree with SuperMatt's post that it is preferable to be a top team and make decisions towards becoming a top team with regular playoff appearances. However, the OP was only addressing the issue of just getting into the playoffs.
