Flames have been in what, 26 one goal games? I think the big difference between this year and last year is that extra goal was coming easier for them (hence as mentioned above 6th in scoring). They are getting a lot of pucks hitting the bar and coming out rather than going in. On top of that blowing so many 3rd period leads, especially the multi goal leads, it is easily the difference of 4 or 5 games. A 10 point swing is huge.
