Also very different circumstances on the team's you are comparing.
That Flames team scored the third fewest goals in the NHL with 218 goals.
This years Flames scored 225 goals so far - third most in the NHL.
The offensive ability of both teams is not at all comparable.

Beyond that, the disparity between scoring and goals-allowed on that 2006 playoff team is nothing like what we see this year:
The 2006 Flames ranked 27th in goals (2.63/GP) and first in goals allowed (2.35/GP), and had a differential of +23.
The 2019 Flames rank second in goals (3.36/GP) and eighth in goals allowed (2.84/GP), and are on pace to finish with a differential of +65.
No, the 2019 Flames are NOT "probably as close to the opposite team formulation as that 06 group."
