To me, it’s all about the intensity, drama, and high stakes of the Stanley Cup playoffs. So the difference between a Flames team that finishes three point out of a playoff spot, and one that finishes with the fourth worst record in the league is negligible. One lost a few more boring regular-season games in November or February than the other. Neither gave me the entertainment of playoff games and a Cup run. But at least with a few elite blue-chip prospects, I’d have a lot easier time imagining the team’s fortunes turning around.

I'm sure a lot of people are super in to the regular season, you're better fans than me, but yeah to many there's no real difference between tying for 8th place and finishing last. Except at least if you finish dead last you get a shot at drafting a McDavid or MacKinnon. All the stuff about how we never tanked, or always tried, is kinda cope. I think we can all agree this sucks, the Flames haven't had more than 5 playoff wins in 21 years, speaks for itself.
