Read an article on THN this morning, it was more "Luck" BS regarding Flames and LA. Again, what is wrong with having for example strong goaltending to off set possession, or generate chances off the rush instead of "just-throw-it-on-net-and-hope-good-comes-of-it"

Luck exists, or rather, random events, as just that - an event. A team is not lucky over the course of 82 games or a full season. It is successful, that's it. No luck, bad luck, mojo, juju, vodoo etc - it's pure and simple success.

I've said it before, the current Flames play like the old Czech national teams - collapse on D, rush and counter attack and forecheck. That's one way of playing hockey, unfortunately it doesn't cater to the flavour of the month lolwick stat people so well, it must be wrong.

Never taking penalties and having active Dmen that create 4 on 3 opportunities busts the Corsi argument.
