Yeah, flames were hammered by depth of the point producing, goal scoring variety.
Eberle is 6th in icetime for forwards on the islanders this year: 48 points
Ferland is 6th in icetime for forwards on the Flames this year: 36 points. Career year from Ferland to be sure, but that kind of production in your top 6 isn't going to cut it.
Islanders 5/6 for goals have produced 32, Flames 5/6 in goals have produced 25.
Once again, the Flames score 2 goals and lose.
I don't know if it's luck after 70 games now. I think it might be a combination of skill and coaching.
