Is your point that everything since 2011 when Hitchcock took over the Blues seems to be the same between the Flames and Blues, so you are drawing that the only reason the Blues have been more successful in that time frame was better coaching?
If so, then yes, you are reading it wrong. You are very selectively looking at the individual rosters, saying they are equal (which I don't think could be further from the truth) and making a huge leap that coaching is the only difference.
Don't get me wrong, I think coaching is a big factor for St.Louis Blues over that time frame, but the Calgary Flames do not post the same numbers as the Blues with Hitch as coach in my opinion over that time frame. Way too many other variables that the Blues also have the Flames beat on that are contributing to the difference.
