But if you watched this team for the last 4-5 years you would know the defense corps is lauded because of their offense and not their defensive responsibility. They brought in hamonic to be the steady eddie d man, but he hasnt been great so far
Their advanced stats are better and their actual stats are better to show for it. Their record is better than it was at this time last year or the year before, they have more goals for and less goals against, which tells me they are more successful
Ive mentioned this in other threads, i dont know what some of you are expecting. It feels like short of an 82-0 season where the flames shut everyone out 10-0, they wont meet expectations. Based on the last 4 or 5 years of this franchise, based on the personnel they have available, based on the league wide parity, the flames are doing pretty fantastic
