But this is a team that has played well against some of the top teams
It starts with how we define important games
Most teams lose if trailing after 2. Comeback wins are memorable but outliers

Maybe - but most recently we were soundly beaten by the Bruins at home. I was at that game. It wasn't even close. And what i've seen lately suggests we will be left in the dust by conference rivals who are dialing it up. There doesn't seem to be another level for this group. Unlike - for example - the Kings who are on the verge of beating VGK back to back. i really can't envision the Flames doing that. Which i think is the concern that advanced stats don't give you an answer for.
