So teams don't play them hard because no one considers them a threat or 'contender'. And they play a river hockey game of trading chances on purpose with a game plan built around racking up points for their star players in hopes of scoring some trophies.
Why does it feel like secretly by the Flames he means the Oilers, particularly before they adopted their trap system? I think this dude is looking into a mirror.
The Flames putting up the 7th most shots per game and allowing the 3rd least shots per game says otherwise, as well as possessing as good a record against playoff teams as non playoff teams, including beating Toronto, Winnipeg, Colorado twice and Nashville twice.
As for his chest beating remarks about Sunday (and apparent short term memory loss of the previous game where the Flames top guys were definitely not shut down), they were clearly gassed and without key players, and even then, the best the Oilers could muster was a single McDavid goal, in what was what...the Flames' second loss in eleven games?
It's fun debunking these Oiler therories.

It's win-win for them. Oilers lose because teams take them seriously. They're a contender, so everyone brings their best game against the Oil.
Jeebus those fans are utterly delusional.
