Boston has 6 regulation losses, one of those is to Arizona and the other is to Ottawa (who also beat them in a shootout).
Carolina has lost to Arizona, Anaheim, and Columbus.
Toronto has lost to Arizona (twice), San Jose, and Anaheim.
Dallas has lost to San Jose twice.
Calgary has lost to Chicago twice, and Columbus once.
That’s not to say Calgary is a fun team to watch (they aren’t) or a Stanley Cup contender (would need a miracle) but just that it’s low hanging fruit that doesn’t have any real significance when judging the quality of a team of what is/isn’t wrong with it and how major those problems might be.

It's totally different to be 10-15 points above playoff bubble teams and have an offnight against bottom feeders. The Flames really can't afford these losses, those teams can.
