You know what I’ve always wondered. Why do international sports teams “win” a gold medal or bronze medal, but then “lose” a silver medal. Isn’t the silver medal better? Teams are always so happy to win, even if it’s for a lesser medal.
@J__Walker21@CofRedCentral@awakentrogdor Dal, Min, and even Buf have a good chance of winning cup this year. Flames could get a top 3 pick for sure! But look how many first round picks the Oilers have and they haven’t won a cup! Florida traded for a bunch of players that were drafted high (Reinhart, Tkachuk, Bennett).
@CofRedCentral@awakentrogdor I mean that’s very true. But McDavid has never won a cup and the Oilers have had 100 first round picks. I would say that a few of those names that I listed are also “franchise” players and they didn’t go #1
People complained when the Flames still had Kadri, Weegar, and Andersson. They got shipped out. People complained we didn’t play our young players. Now they are playing and contributing. People now complain that they have won 4 straight. What kind of fans are you?!…
@CofRedCentral We are still 3 points back of the next placed team. And we could finish 31st and still pick 5th, it’s all up to luck. So I’d rather watch entertaining hockey games and win a few here and there.
