And I’m fine with you believing something ridiculous. Flames were just unlucky. That is something Oilers fans were saying when they dreamed up half of these advanced stats to make themselves feel better about bad play. The reality is the Flames played a bad and very predictable system. When you know what they are going to do, it is easy t defend against. I mean, like was any team surprised the Flames would start moving forward then make a back pass to a guy rushing up the ice? They were PREDICTABLE, and it didn’t take anyone counting those back passes to figure out what was going to happen. All it took was watching a few games. The Flames were the same no-trick pony for much of the season and it became easier to defend against. When you know that a pitcher only has a fast ball you get to sit on it and the results speak for themselves.
