I don't get why y'all act like i'm ####ting on the kitchen table here. I am far away from the first person to even point out how consistently mediocre/ middling we are. I'm not even trying to be argumentative, but let's be real! We've had one cinderella run over 30 years. It's not like we've got organizational pride to consider here.

To the arbitrary point - I did it again with thirds. The results were the same.
It is also arbitrary (and unfair) to remove the 80s. If we remove the one stretch from 07-13 there are only a handful in the other years. In other words, one great stretch (the 80s) and one mushy middle stretch. We shouldn't eliminate either (or any). The Flames experience should include all seasons.
