To me, wins are secondary at this point. The Flames have built up such a big cushion on team #2, that even going under .500 would still earn the Flames top spot in the division based on the current points %.
I’m more interested to see how the Flames match up against the top teams of the conference. The dismantling of Minnesota was a delightful surprise. Doing the same thing to Colorado would likely vault the Flames to contender status amongst those in the media and experts alike. Big implications on the horizon.
