Some fun facts from this season from hell:

Flames are 28th in goals scored per game (2.43). The Oilers are first at 3.59 and 4 of the top 6 teams in league are from the North Division. So, there is an argument that the Flames are actually the worst offensive team in the entire league.

The Flames are 21st in goals against per game (ie, they are in the bottom third of the league in terms of defensive success.)

Interestingly the Flames are only 18th in team save percentage. Suggests that perhaps the goaltending hasn't been as great as many presume.

Anyway, the statistics bear one thing out: this team is okay at goaltending, bad at defence, and absolutely terrible at offence.

Well done, Mr. Treliving.
