I'm going to have to say that the Flames were more disappointing. Before the season started, I had the Flames somewhere between 2nd and 3rd in the division and thought they might have a reasonable expectation to make the Conference Finals with the COVID divisional format.

Oilers finished about where I expected. They might make the playoffs, they might not, but they were still basically a 2-player team in 97 & 29. I hardly expected them to have the depth to make a deep playoff run, particularly with that goaltending combo of Smith and Kostkinen.
