Exactly. A great example is the 2013-2014 season. That was the year the flames were often called “the hardest working team in hockey”. They ended the season drafting 4th overall but I remember enjoying watching them play a lot. The vets were good mentors and the young players were fun to watch. That was the year of the Flames-Vancouver opening face-off brawl. The point is that the team was bad but I can’t remember it being painful to watch. After years of stressing over every loss, it was nice to have a season where a win felt great and a loss felt like no big deal.
