IMO it's more Flames issues than schedule or strength of opponents. Lots of players not playing to their previous levels from goaltending out.

I agree, this team hasn't played well at all and I believe their record would be pretty similar if we were say middle of the road for strength of schedule.
They're beating themselves with poor play and goaltending. Crappier opponents probably would have got us an extra win or two so far, if we're lucky, imo.
