When healthy? Yes, yes I can. There have been a good few games in this young season where the Flames were easily outplaying the opposition but where Kiprusoff crapped the bed (or Ray Emery channelled Hasak).

How many actual bad games have they played? Vancouver and Anaheim by my count every other game the Flames either easily outplayed the opposition or effectively battled them to a draw.

That is so mathamatically wrong. I said "points" in 4 of the last 5... specifically they've gotten 6, prorate that out and it's 1.2 points per game. Are you honestly going to try and argue that if the Flames average 1.2 points per game for the rest of the year they'll not only not be in the playoff picture but they'll be "near dead last"? That'd be 98-99 points in a regular season.
