This is what drives me insane about the Lambert's and Mirtle's of the world. They are so convinced that they've cracked that secret code that they've eliminated in their minds the possibility of exceptions. They also don't allow for the possibility of improvement.

They've already written next years Flames off. I mean, isn't it possible that another year of growth for guys like Gaudreau, Monahan and Bouma might make us better? Is it possible that the full-time additions of guys like Bennett, Poirier, Ferland and Wolf might improve the team? Of course it is. But these stats guys just assume that you are who you are forever - and there's no arguing with them.
