Hi everyone. I didn't read the whole thread so forgive me if I repeat anything.
The thing is it's very early so rolling average charts are easy to manipulate to say what you'd like them to. Here's an example:

There's really little argument the Flames are a great possession team. Giordano is a great possession player, so that helps, but it's not enough. Only five of their first 19 games were +50% Fenwick percentage wise.
I think a lot of fans have misinterpreted the article as disparaging the rebuild or something along those lines. All it is is trying to explain sustainability and which aspects of the Flames record are expected to regress.
I'd agree with a lot of people here that their success is a huge positive given expectations. Heck this team finishing with anything close to 85-90 points would be a big step forward. But it's unrealistic to think they can keep scoring 3+ goals a game like this.
