The flip side to that argument can be made - the Flames are unlucky to be 10-14-2 and should have won those games against the Lightning, Panthers, Jets, Avs, Sens, Coyotes and Habs, most of them in regulation as they were the better team in each. Then they would be 17-9-0 right now and feeling awesome about themselves.
In reality the Flames are 10-14-2 right now. They're neither unlucky to be there nor lucky to be there. For everything they've had go right, they've had things go hilariously wrong from goaltending fails to nervous breakdowns from experienced veterans to being without our #1D for October.
Looking forward there's no real way to predict whether they're 20-19-2 at the midway point of the season or 14-23-4. That's why we watch the games.
