And yet, they are 3-7-0 in their last 10. Still terrible, but a far cry from 0-10-0.

If you look at the last 10 column on NHL.com standings, most teams will have between 9 and 14 points in their last 10 games. There will always be a couple teams on fire, and a couple in the dumpster, but most teams play between .500 hockey and .650 hockey, most of the time.

REGARDLESS OF WHICH TEAMS THEY ARE PLAYING.

This idea that St Louis will win every game because their schedule is easy, and the Flames will lose every game because their schedule is hard, is ridiculously overblown.

I'll keep the fun predicting to myself in the future then.
