They could be poor team and play against one of the top teams and be competitive with them.
When a team at the bottom of the standings or on a massive slump they thump the Flames.
It's mind bottling.

You aren't alone. I even remember being concerned last season before their first game against Ottawa that they might have a hard time with them while other teams were easily beating them and sure enough they did.
And it hasn't just been the last couple of seasons. It's been years that it feels like they show up more for the tough games than the "easy" games. Even if they win those games they make many of them look tougher than they should.
