I think this year especially because of the flames success in spite of the advanced stats has people up in arms about it.
I wonder if you looked back last year what the thoughts were when Colorado and Toronto (before their cliff dive) were doing well in spite of the stats, what the thoughts were.
(Not saying the flames have been out played or whatever, they certainly have deserved the majority of their wins)
