[QUOTE=Jay Random;9270851]So let me get this straight.
The team that won the Pacific Division in 2019 was in the mushy middle?
The team that won the division in 2022 was in the mushy middle?
The team that was doing a full rebuild in 2014, and drafted 4th overall, was in the mushy middle?
The team that made the Stanley Cup finals in 2004 was in the mushy middle?
The team that missed the playoffs for seven consecutive years before that was in the mushy middle?
At any point in your above examples did you feel like the Flames were a solid annual contender? I moved here in '97 and not once since moving here have I though the flames are that.
This is what they should be building towards, Consistency will bring fans, not make the playoffs once and miss next 4 years, win the division and wash out in first round etc.
