The Flames are getting better results than a few advanced stats would indicate. One guy looks at that, doesn't understand how had they work and how they make key plays at key times and reduces it down to "luck". I hesitate to suggest a different word, but "fortunate" might be better. However, in my experience, those who appear "fortunate" have put in a lot of effort to set themselves up for success. Success is almost never accidental and luck doesn't exist.

This could not be more untrue in any aspect in life. Luck is a huge factor in success of any kind. Mountains of research to prove it.
People try to explain what they don't understand with simple causality, not the other way around.
