But with a 35 year lease on a brand new facility isn’t there far more stability then back then?
Wouldn’t the last 30+ years of mediocrity also create scar tissue?
It feels like the Flames owners have a vision for how a team should be built and they have not wavered from that approach despite seeing the last 2 era’s of the team accumulate the 3rd fewest playoff wins in the league in the cap era (referenced in the below link and must be excluding Seattle) but only the Arizona/Utah club and the Blue Jackets have less playoff wins than the flames in the cap era
