Well, as the Flames have played 66 games, and 66 happens to have a large number of factors, there are some easy-to-math segments of the Flames' season.

Breaking the season into six 11-game segments, with points-percentages, the Flames' year looks like this:

1: 5 - 5 - 1 (.500)
2: 5 - 6 - 0 (.454)
3: 7 - 3 - 1 (.681)
4: 7 - 4 - 0 (.636)
5: 4 - 6 - 1 (.409)
6: 9 - 1 - 1 (.863)

If you choose to divide the season into thirds of 22 games, this is what those segments look like:

1: 10 - 11 - 1 (.477)
2: 14 - 7 - 1 (.659)
3: 13 - 7 - 2 (.636)

And, if you choose to look at it in halves of 33, these are the splits:

1: 17 - 14 - 2 (.545)
2: 20 - 11 - 2 (.636)

Are all of those points in the season completely arbitrary? Yes, totally. Do they provide useful information? Mayyyybbeeee? Probably not? Is it interesting that the points percentage for our second half, and third third of the season are identical, and that we had that same .636 points percentage during the 4th 6th? Yes, a little. Is it meaningful? probably not.

Anyway. Those are the numbers, do with them as you will.
