Your argument still made zero sense...strength of schedule matters thus far as they haven't played many games like the NFL.
Flames are one game above .500 with the hardest strength of schedule, seems reasonable to assume they will be better than that with the easiest strength of schedule after December.
Its not an excuse, just reality...if you are going to compare standings and numbers schedule matters especially early.
after 82 you are right it doesn't, but for now its a factor unless you are just trying to be obtuse.
