For me, the 90s were the low point. Young Guns was a nice slogan, but looking at those teams, it was incredibly clear that the Flames had no chance with that talent. How we didn't end up drafting top 5 is still an absolute mystery to me. It never felt like we would ever make the playoffs. Even 2004 felt like a bit of a fluke.
I don't think this team is as bereft of talent, but it might be close after the sell off. I am ok with it, but truly burning the thing to the ground is terrifying to me, as I think that would lead to a solid 7-10 years of pain.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
