Hey, that makes me feel much better. The Flames did manage to beat Minnesota
last night.  Phew.  But c'mon, I have a reason to worry.  We've missed the
play-offs for _five_ straight seasons.  And they let 16 of 30 teams into the
big show.  It's tough in the "small" market (read: our dollar f*cking
sucks.)

Anyway, I hope they do better after the All-Star break this weekend.
