Actually, they were 2 games below 500 after Christmas.
Before: 14 - 17 - 6 .459
After: 21 - 23 - 1 .478
Yes, there was a tailspin in January and they played better after that. But most teams in the bottom half can make the same 'excluding this one bad stretch' argument.
Well, except the Oilers - they're always bad.
