It's obtuse because ricardodw with persistent regularity pushes nearly every discussion in a different, most often irrelevant or completely pointless direction. This is another case in point where he somehow managed to (not so accidentally?) miss what Bingo was quite obviously getting at. For ricardodw this is most commonly a tool used to project passively aggressively a wildly inaccurate and unflattering view of the Flames, but in this instance he has rather opted to weirdly infer either that Flames fans on CP are out of touch in assessing their own prospects, or that their own expectations for Valimaki are rightly very modest.
