While this is a fair assessment, I have one additional theory:

1) Vladar gets superior opponents
2) Superior opponents spend less time in their own zone, allowing the Flames to generate more rush scoring, and reducing rush scoring against the Flames, since the Flames are also spending less time in the opponent's zone

I don't have the numbers to back it up, but maybe someone could dig into it
