When he says "fine with being in the mushy middle." its really just satire that he wishes there was more of a vocal majority. In this case Quiet = Content with the situation.

There is nothing worse than having a a quiet majority that suffers of pride complex made by ownership to try squeeze into the playoffs an extra time each decade. "The Winning Culture" of last season is just propaganda from ownership to justify staying mediocre in hopes of a short playoff run for a small boost in revenue.
I'll go a different direction on this, I think Edwards knows where his Calgary Flames 'bread is buttered' and thats the STHs and the luxury boxes and they want to see a game.

Yeah if we're getting stuffed they'll chat about their Portfolios or WTI fluctuations but their seats, boxes and tickets are still paid for.

Its a much tougher sell if the team is wholeheartedly hot ass.
