Yeah, the offensive contributions from the top 4 scoring defenceman are ruining the team's chances at McDavid as much as the goaltending.
During the last rebuild the Flames would get 9 goals all year from the defence core, and we thought Toni Lydman was an offensive defenceman because he could get 20 points a season.
Really the defence scoring so far, is probably more unsustainable than the teams save percentage. But the top 4 guys are making pretty strong offensive contributions thus far. I suspect things will correct themselves a fair bit as the season goes on.
