You're right AV was unable to close the deal and win a Cup. However I think it is fair to say the bar for the Calgary Flames is lower just getting into the playoffs is viewed as a successful season.

What I'm unclear about is what is the long term plan for this club? Is Bill Peters going to win a Stanley Cup?

Oh boy, I think Francis caught Tre off guard there. I don't think he wanted to say 'no' to that.

Didn't realize that he's an Alberta boy. Doesn't change anything I suppose, just didn't know that.

“Take advantage of playing on the good ice at the saddle dome”?

Huh, he’s never been to the saddledome. That’s a shame.

Not a proud moment for Peters when he reamed out Lack.
