I would argue the season the Flames guys had is just as impressive considering everything than some lottery team winning the Cup.

100% pure cope. If you get a player like Crosby or McDavid, fans don’t care what it took to get them. At most, it’s seen as the reward for sacrifice.
Flames ownership isn’t willing to make that sacrifice and we’ve all seen where that gets them. The reality is that there will likely not be another deep run or franchise altering player until Edwards kicks the bucket. So by all means get comfy cheering for just making the playoffs and being done by round 2, because that’s the bar this organization has set for itself.
