The point is the team was playing mediocre before the winning streak and after the winning streak reverted to mediocre play. Really the only thing that home winning streak did for them was keep them out of 30th as outside of that streak they have been the worst team in the league this season.

It's you that's cherry picking.
The Flames DID gain on a playoff spot during the streak. And in fact got themselves
into a playoff spot. That's a pretty impressive run from where they were.
But more importantly, I wasn't cherry picking, I posted the entire stretch of 40 games.
That's half a season where, when they had decent (far from great) goaltending, they played at a pace that would make them a playoff team.
Pretty straight-forward.
