I actually agree with you to some extent, but for me it's all about how rock solid Johnson has been. It's night and day from any Flames goaltender since vintage Kipper. The results from our special teams lately have also meant a lot for how safe a lead feels.
Also, not necessarily directed at you, but do note that like I mentioned earlier, the team is very good at even score. That's been huge for our record in one-goal games. But if we can find a way to better put the pressure on teams or shut them down when playing with the lead, we will be even better off.
