I find that pretty hard to believe. Pro athletes take the game very seriously these days and I bet 95% of NHL hockey players are in top physical condition year round.
I think if you compare fitness numbers from team to team, they are pretty even throughout the league.
The Flames were crazy high in their shooting percentages last year. I think their additions will help but I still am expecting them to slide back from where they finished last year.
