If you look at it that way, yes. My point is that the Flames play 5v5 for the vast majority of the time, so it's their play in 5v5 by bucking the possession game, that has allowed for the success.
But yes I'd agree that special teams and 4v4/OT have really made a difference in their wins.
Semantics I suppose
