Maybe a coincidence. But still, when can we say wow, GG made this happen?



So far we have advanced stats. They are clearly better.

But the actual hockey results are underwhelming. Poor special teams, players playing poorly, terrible GF vs GA results. To me those are the true indicators of well coached teams.

How about a 17 point improvement in the standings on the previous year while playing a system that is set up for sustainable success?

Oh, and we’re on pace to finish with even more points than that this year.

I constantly see this desire for the Flames to be more consistent, but that just isn't reality in the NHL these days. No team in the league is going to come out and win every game as easily as the Flames did last night. We are also tied for fifth in the league with 12 wins.
