You don't win many games in the NHL, in any era, scoring 2 goals per game.
The Flames can't score. Any other problems will be magnified by the fact that the team isn't dangerous and thus not respected in the offensive zone.
This is what I don't get about some posters referring to this team as having the skill level to compete. High skill teams score lots of goals, average skilled teams score an average amount of goals and underskilled teams score below average amounts of goals.
The Flames are 29th in the league in scoring. I think that's an indication of their skill level.

Yeah that's fair. Absolutely need to score at a higher rate to be a good team.
