Is March an outlier? Sure. But then so is January, it being the only positive month. Remove March and it still looks like crap.
Good lord. I never suggested anything otherwise except to point out that A MINUS-36 GOAL-DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OVERALL SKILL AND STRENGTH OF THIS HOCKEY TEAM.

I did not say that the Flames are a good team, nor did I suggest they are without problems that need to be addressed. My ONLY POINT is to show that the very poor goal-differential can be manipulated to greatly exacerbate the problems.
