There are so many variables over a regular season as for example that Panthers team last night is considered a good team but were terrible last night on the 2nd half of a back to back. The Flames lost at home earlier in the season when the Sabres were streaking hot. They could play them tomorrow and the Sabres would not be nearly the same team. It all averages out and you are what the standings says you are. I'm sure a few games against the Coyotes may help prop the team up but the way this team plays, every game is a grind regardless of the opponent as there will be few easy outs this season.
IMO if they turn things around it will be more due to improved play from the goaltenders and skill players than anything to do with the schedule.

I'm just coming up with facts.
You're the one trying to pretend these facts don't exist.
If you play, on average, better teams than other teams are playing you have a tougher schedule. Not sure why anyone would argue that.
