Based on what metrics?
Few months = 3.... Yes?
If so...
Flames have 6 more regulation wins
6 more total points
.750 to .695 point %
Scored 14 more goals
Gave up 9 fewer goals
Edmonton PP% was 24.2...Flames 23.9
PK%...Oilers 81.7...Flames 82.7
Flames took more shots and gave up fewer.
Goaltending looks like this
Markstrom .919 save%....Smith .921
Markstrom 2.30 GAA....Smith 2.55
I really fail to see how that equates to the Oilers being "as good".
