None of this "I'm right and you are wrong" really matters to me as the standings are all I care about.

Obsessed?
I like understanding the how and why ... you don't have to. Couldn't care less.
But telling me there's a standings is a pretty pissy response. So to was the "do you watch the games bs" yesterday from another poster.
I guess that's what you get when someone arrives with a preconceived narrative and someone has actual stats to get in the way of said narrative.
The stats don't paint a rosier picture ... they paint the best summary of the actual picture we can get our hands on.
They say the Flames aren't a slow, plodding, perimeter team, but they are a team that seems to lack the offensive talent to move into the upper third of the league in high danger chances.
They may stay that way, and middling in the standings. They may improve in he high danger area and move up. They may go on a bit of a PDO ripper to even the scales some what.
We will see.
