Default 1989: Flames win Stanley Cup. Since then, four playoff series wins in 30 years.

When you think of that phrase, Flames fans, does it trigger you or does it give you a different feeling?

Just askin'.

Why are we doing this?

More to the point, why are we doing this now?

I wanna know if Flames fans don't mind losing in round 1 for the nth time because the 'core' is growing or should the Flames better do some damage in the playoffs from here on.

Damage. This team cannot lose in the 1st round.

And why didn't you say so in the first place?

So, if the Flames lose, I will be back cheering for them to win again next year. My life will change little one way or the other.

Why not mention the Young Guns Era and really twist the knife.

I was 16-years old when the Flames won the Cup in 1989, but it had no affect on the quality and direction of my life beyond the moment of euphoria I experienced, and the memories I forged. It does not register on the scale of events that changed my life.

Some people just need to chill and let things play themselves out. This is supposed to be fun! Somewhere along the line it seems like a portion of the fanbase has gone all emo and sit under the stairs and watch clips from the young guns era to ensure they stay depressed.

It kind of feels like a troll thread considering it comes out after our first 2 game losing streak in regulation since November when the fanbase is likely as fragile as they have been since the Pittsburgh loss.

I mean we all are painfull aware we have only won in 04 and 15 since 89 why bring that up now? I could be off but feels trollish to me

Are you saying this as in they better not or they're incapable of?

Because they're damn sure capable of it.

In a 32 team league you can only expect to go to the Finals every 16 years, and win the Cup every 32 years (all things being equal).

We are 15 years removed from our last appearance in the Finals. 30 years removed from our Cup win.

This is about par for the course.
