I think we need to get back on track with what OP wanted. Calgary Flames good. Hokey analytics bad.
This season has been a ride regardless of what analytics or people for that matter think. So what if the team regresses slightly next year or in the next 3 weeks? I've had fun, and I look forward to seeing the team be competitive for a long time. Sure beats the days of 10th place finishes tinkering with a broken record trying to create the next Beethoven symphony.
