so over the whole season it's an appreciable difference and could certainly be the difference between playoffs and not- in the smaller run- sure I agree, maybe if we are generous we can add 2 points to the Flames
up to them whether they decide to make hay once they hit the soft teams

The answer is no different if you look at points percentage vs. actual points.
All it is telling you is that if you took the most Flames centric approach possible, the schedule has "cost" the Flames two points thus far and they should be able to "gain" those two points over the remainder of the season as it balances out. Balance it with the Flames having played two more home games than away, and the difference shrinks even more.
It is a total nothing burger.
