Upon which the team promptly face-planted and went home. That being the most recent memory....yeah, overshadows a nice regular season.

Yeah, I get that. I pointed out as much specifically in my post, but "overshadowing" the memory is entirely different than revising it altogether. The fact is, the Flames played a very good second half—definitely not as good as the first, but also not anywhere near the debacle that some people seem to misremember. The disappointment should come exclusively from what happened in the playoffs, because the regular season—from start to finish—is rightly characterized is pretty spectacular.

If the playoffs hadnt been a complete and utter disaster then I might agree with you. But they were, and so here we are.

So, you in essence are suggesting that because the playoffs ended so poorly, we are afforded license to create alternative histories about the regular season? Sorry. I cannot get on board with that. I much prefer to remember with accuracy what happened.
