These were nine of their first ten games.
They've come right back down to Earth since then, and over a normal 82 game season would not have made the playoffs or outscored Calgary.

Allowed 15 more. Flames have allowed fewer than the Jets or Habs...allowed 2 more than the Oilers. Those teams score goals though.
If you think the bulk of the blame for this season is on Markstrom we are never going to agree
FFS Ritchie, Leivo, Simon in the top six at times
Monahan and Tkachuk look like 3rd liners...probably flattering to Monahan.
