Hyperbole? All teams have played different opponents so far, so if you want to compare records you look at head to head and common opponents.
Everyone is beating the Sens. If you don’t beat them, you’re losing ground to the competition. Playing the Sens and winning allows you to keep pace. Beating other teams head to head allows you to separate from the pack.
It’s still early in the season and the Flames are in the thick of the playoff race. It’s a little early for you to get so defensive, no?
