23 of 32 teams don't have the history of utter mediocrity that the Flames have. 1 playoff series win in 18 years, and every season they follow the exact same damn formula. Go on a run in Nov-Dec to make you think they have a shot, stagnate in the new year but still win enough to give you hope, completely #### the bed post all-star break, then start winning games in March-April after they're already out of it to make sure that 1st round draft pick isn't anything to look forward to
The only other teams I can think of that have given their fans so little to cheer about in that timeframe are Minnesota, Buffalo, Ottawa, Arizona, and of course Edmonton. Maybe Florida too, but they appear to have finally turned a corner. It just gets depressing watching so many other organizations commit to full rebuilds and come out the other end with playoff caliber teams while the Flames just spin their wheels year after year
