So the Flames can be mediocre for five months, dynamite for one month, and that's enough to get to the playoffs?

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's the story of most teams. You play at or slightly above .500 hockey for most of the season with a handful of hot streaks. I bet if we looked at Washington this year they haven't consistently played .684 hockey. They've had stretches of going .500 and then a couple good streaks as well.
