Unsustainable? Absolutely. But that can be changed just as easily by having the ice tilted more normally. The argument:
P: team being out-shot heavily (bad possession numbers)
P: bad possession numbers correlates to losing more
C: therefore team will start losing more
is a classic case of trying to make an argument from correlation numbers
far more likely, IMO, that the possession numbers start to normalize.
How about we see how things go on the 5 game homestand and then we'll have a larger (and more fair) sample size.
If the possession numbers remain skewed, well then we can probably start to expect the imminent demise of the team

What you're saying is that if the Flames play better they'll avoid dropping off from what the current stats on their play indicate they'll drop to.
Sure, isn't that self-evident?
My point was basically the same as yours only I was saying that should they continue to play as they have been then they will see a correction in their points pace.
