But see the Flames are 6th in the league in goal differential. Why is it that a drop in PDO will affect Calgary but not Pittsburgh?
I'm actually looking forward to April when are analyst pulls out the "is anyone really surprised this team has made the playoffs? Their PDO is at the top of the league, I'm actually surprised they didn't finish higher in the standings." then everyone will think he's a genius.
