You know what does scream first place team to me? The standings.
Also, since Feb. the Flames have the second best record in the west. And SJ and AZ have exactly one more win. Goals for - they are 4th in the west and two of the teams ahead are well out of the POs. Goals against they are 4th, but only two teams in the POs ahead, and with a difference of 4 goals behind the leader. PPG - they are 2 goals behind the leader.

Remember when the argument was that the Flames' underlying numbers showed they should be better than they were? Some screamed "Standings!"
Now, standings show we're 2nd best in the NHL, best in the west. 2 losses where the team played pretty well for the most part that followed 7 straight wins. But that number is no longer good enough
Parts of the fanbase are becoming overly reactive. Don't get too low, don't get too high.
