I think when you rely on luck as a variable to explain the result of an equation you have to wonder about the science.
Surely there must be an exponent in the Flames game that would explain prolonged, historic "bad luck".
If you can't accurately predict the outcome over the long-run and your only explanation is luck, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of using stats in the first place?
