Thanks to all the other posters who aren’t so finicky with all math and etc and can engage in the debate because it’s probably the #1 problem spot of this team right now.

I think the backlash is because you put up a thread with a valid opinion, yet suggested in the title that you had hard fact based merit to the opinion in the form of statistics.
The topic and thread is fine but it's still opinion. We actually don't know how much of a problem bottom 6 scoring is by league standards. I'm sure more than half the teams in the league wished they were getting more goals from their bottom lines, especially with the league talent being slightly diluted with the addition of the 31st team this year.
I'm still not concerned as a flames fan. Offense is not the biggest challenge with the team. In my humble opinion it's the craptastic defence that gives up way too many high danger scoring chances despite looking extremely strong on paper. Oh and the pk,that's another area concerning me a quarter of the way thru.
