The league is so tight these days I don’t think the schedule analysis matters that much. If you don’t show up any night you are going to get your ass handed to you.
If you get into the playoffs no one is giving you a free pass. You have to beat whoever you’re playing.

Nobody has said the Flames are a perfect team doomed by an unfair schedule ... getting pretty tired of this getting walked out.
If you have sporadic play (they have) against more difficult opponents (which they've seen) you likely have less success. Are you honestly arguing that?
Rolling out three Captain Obvious statements doesn't change that at all.
