That's a really interesting point. The Flames are 6th in the league in actual GF%, so a bit lower than xGF%, but still really high. This seems to support your theory. In which case, consistency appears to be the thing really holding the Flames back from having an elite W-L record (which, personally, accords with my impression from watching them this season.)
