Advanced stats are no good. Seriously. On what planet is Edmonton a better team than Calgary? I mean, watch the hockey games! Advanced stats are all the rage in Shelbyville because they tell a misleading story. Here are the only stats that matter.

Calgary Flames: 13W-7L-2OTL - 28P (8th in NHL)
Edmonton Oilers: 6W-13L-2OTL - 14P (tied for dead ####ing last in the NHL)

Calgary Flames: +10 goal differential (8th in NHL)
Edmonton Oilers: -25 goal differential (29th in the NHL)

Not very advanced or very fancy, but real good indicators of success.
Thanked for addition in my signature.
