They have the metrics and goal differential of an elite team yet have a somewhat middling record.

This is also just the NHL this year, parity has disappeared.
There are 14! teams on pace for 100+ points.
9 teams are on pace for below 80 points.
Compare that to the last full season in 18-19.
There were 9 100 point teams that season and the Flames were second in the league with 107 points.
The Flames current . 619 point percentage would have been 6th in the NHL in 18-19, that sits them at 14th this year.
It's not that the Flames are bad, it's just that there is a huge gap this season in terms of the quality of teams.
