Sounds like you are open to new ideas for sure!

Finding more statistics that support your confirmation bias is not being "open to new ideas". You're presenting a variation of a failed case as if it's a fresh, intriguing slant on last season, but it's not - what would be intriguing is if you found some numbers that showed the Flames were about as bad as they should have been. What would be fresh is if you said, "In retrospect, those calling for the coach to be fired mid-season weren't at all premature."
Just because an idea is new, or seemingly objective, doesn't make it correct. A theory with no explanatory power IS useless, and data that supports no theorizing is equally so. It is incumbent on the person proposing the theory to show its validity, and not the skeptic's place to let error ride unchallenged.
