Flames now 5-0-0 in bounceback games against opponents where there was a 3+ goal loss (well, or a loss period as those are the only bounceback games we've played):

VAN 5-1 L
EDM 5-2 L
WSH 6-2 L
CHI 4-1 L
SJS 5-2 L

Van 2-3 W
EDM 5-4 W
WSH 3-2 W
CHI 2-1 W
SJS 4-2 W

I think that speaks to Bob Hartley's coaching style. Throw young team against good team unprepared and to the dogs. Get down three goals. Try to comeback. If comeback successful, LOL. If comeback unsuccessful, win next time.

This was a moderate trend last year too BTW. Look at how the Flames trended generally upwards against divisional opponents and it wasn't just a case of owning everybody from day 1. Vancouver is the best example as we started the season 0-1-1 against them yet ended up winning the season series 2-1-1 and by playoff time they were our *****.
