To each their own, but I watch hockey for entertainment and to me there's nothing entertaining about watching a garbage team scrape together 20 wins in a season so they can draft a stud and then hopefully not suck in a few years.
If the Flames never win a Cup or even make a Cup finals again in my lifetime, I'm not going to be looking back on my life with any sort of regret. I pity anyone that does. Go Flames Go, thanks for the ride.

If all you care about is entertainment then I think you're really downplaying the excitement of deep playoff runs and possible cup wins. The excitement and entertainment value in the playoffs is multiples times greater than the regular season. I think you're lying if you try to claim they are even remotely similar.
The 2004 run is easily the most exciting and most memorable moment for Flames fans over the past 35 years and it's not even close.
