Only because we're the Flames, and everyone expects us to regress towards the mean because our #1 center is 20 years old and we've been irrelevant for 5-6 years now. The analysis is backward. We're proving a narrative with statistics, not creating one.
If your PDO regresses it means a higher percentage of shots against are going in your net and/or fewer of your shots are going in. Last time I checked, goals for and against strongly correlate with winning percentage.

Mirtle has no bias here. He wrote these same things about other teams
