Several of the 11 back to backs they also played a team on a back to back, the advantage was crazy absurd.
Meanwhile, the Flames played
7 back to back games by November. November. Like if that could not have contributed to the Flames poor start with a new coach and 2 star players missing training camp.
The Oilers advantages is even more significant. That is crazy. Any argument with an Oilers fan claiming their schedule was rough and other teams had it soft should automatically be countered with that image. Net 11 game advantage.
