The Flames are like 24th? In the league. Other teams have it worse.

What's their penalty +/- over the last 5 seasons? I bet it's all over the place.

These things don't stay constant. Like when the Flames were shooting the lights out in 14/15 many Flames fans I talked to assured me that the Flames were just a high shooting percentage team. It balanced out.

I found this on HFBOARDS.

1. San Jose: +35
2. Philadelphia: +26
3. Carolina: +19
4. Chicago: +18
5. Detroit: +16
6. NY Rangers: +16
7. Vancouver: +16
8. Dallas: +15
9. Florida: +14
10. Tampa Bay: +12
11. Edmonton: +8
12. Minnesota: +6
13. Nashville: +6
14. Buffalo: +4
15. Columbus: +4
16. New Jersey: +2
17. NY Islanders: +1
18. Pittsburgh: +1
19. Ottawa: -1
20. Boston: -6
21. Toronto: -13
22. Winnipeg: -13
23. Los Angeles: -14
24. Calgary: -17
25. Arizona: -20
26. Anaheim: -22
27. Washington: -24
28. St. Louis: -25
29. Montreal: -30
30. Colorado: -34

Seems like Montreal has a better claim at being screwed over. They really don't have too many aggressive players on their team.
