I would certainly beg to differ with that opinion.
As for the team "scoring at will", this club is on pace for 294 goals...and 224 against.
That 88-89 club scored 354...and gave up 226.

Nah, come on, of course there are better teams.
There just aren't dynastic juggernauts roaming the league able to put up 100+ goal differentials. The league is different than it was 30 years ago.
In relation to the here and now, the flames are largely scoring at will. They have averaged over 3.5 goals per game 15 times in franchise history, and this is the only time since 94.
Second in the league in goals for.
This is as close to a flames 80s team as we've seen since....the 80s.
