And again, your usage of language here is sloppy. A MAJORITY of teams makes the playoffs every year, which is distinctly different from the same majority from one year to the next. Regardless of the fact that one more team in the West plays in the playoffs than those that miss, the simple truth is that it is always going to be more difficult to be one of those teams than not. And this is why, while the expression is mathematically true, it is false in practice.

Without knowing specifically what the philosophy is, I don't believe any applied to the CFL would be applicable in the NHL because of how dramatically different the talent pool and the rules of player acquisition are. Do you honestly feel that success in the NHL boils down to doing what Hufnagel does? Come on.
Come on tone it down a little. You don’t have to read my mind, just be a little courteous.

Proclaiming someone’s opinion as “laughable”when they suggest the Flames could maybe learn something? Where did I say NHL success “boils down to doing what Hufnagel does”?

Mathematically true but false in practice? I have no idea what that means so maybe the simple truths you espouse are not as evident as you think.

It’s commendable that you are so passionate in defense of the organization in all circumstances but does it have to come attached to such condescension?
