More of an indictment of possession stats, IMO.

As Street Pharmacist notes, being a poor possession team generally leads to poor results. While we are a serious outlier this year, that does not mean we can continue to be so indefinitely. This is something that I believe the Flames will improve upon as they get more experience, bigger, stronger, faster, etc. However it is just one issue on top of unsustainable performances in the third, when trailing after two, within the division, etc.
What the Flames are doing now is pretty amazing. I think a lot of these factors will balance out next year such that we might have a similar record, but without the really odd statistical breakdowns.
