Totally. For unavoidable reasons, I had to be in Deadmonton 2 weekends ago when they were down 3-0 in the series. While you could feel the dejection, I think they were more at peace with it, and just content to be there after surprisingly getting past Dallas.
But to come all the way back, basically dominating games 4-6, got everybody's hopes up, only to see them crushed at the very end... that was perfect. Even though it got us Flames fans closer to an ulcer with the way it played out, it maximized Oiler heartbreak, which is the obvious desired result.
