Games above .500 isn't exactly perfect either. I was also going since Dec 1st because I thought it was like the 3rd of January

With this many games left, games above .500 is the best way. If it was the end of the season and one team had 8 games left and the other had 10 and were tied, points matters. Either way, the Flames are not gaining ground. Since December 14th, the Flames have played 8 non playoff teams and 4 playoff teams. I am not going to bother looking up the other teams, but it is safe to say in a conference where half the teams make the playoffs it is safe to say that having 67% of your games against non-playoff teams means they probably had an easier schedule than most of their peers who did better than them.
