Nah. That's just an easy excuse.We are learning along the way that there is a hefty price to pay for winning 3 flags in 4 years.
Cats won 3 flags in 5 years n then simply continued playing finals virtually ever since then while constantly regrowing their list through two dynasty eras and the expansion drafts. Neks minnit the pricks won another flag had a toe stub stumble and are back on top of the ladder again.
Huge effort in consistency for over 20 years.
