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

I used to feel like this too. In 2012 I was adamant that what the Oilers were doing, on purpose or by failure, was essentially taking the easy road.
Flash forward 10+ years of mediocrity, and I have changed my tune. I want my franchise players again. I want my 1000+ game, 1000+ point star centre. I want to see my team compete for the Cup, even if they don't win, and consistently make the playoffs soundly for 5+ years.
