Even if a combined shooting percentage and save percentage appear to describe a hot streak (which is the only SUPER ADVANCED STAT I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND I see in the article), it doesn't follow that the team will simply start losing as that one indicator goes back to normal.
In other words, we all expect tough times in a long season. It's a matter of how they respond when they face struggles. Will they continue to get points or will they go on long losing streaks - that can be a very small margin determined by countless different factors.
Honestly, I don't know. It's easy to predict that the Flames won't make it. They're young, they will likely run out of gas. Easy to make yourself look knowledgeable by predicting that. Also easy to make your favorite stats look good by predicting that SCIENTIFICALLY.
