The problem with strength of schedule is unless the teams you are racing with rank last in strength of schedule, they do have weak games too.
Take Minnesota, they rank mid pack in strength of schedule. Going into last night the Flames had 11 games against the worst 8 teams. Minnesota has 8. So, we are plus 3 there. But then we lost last night. So now it's 10 to 8 and all teams in the playoffs have about a 2-to-3-point edge on the Flames.
People also keep saying. .625-win percent you're in but after last night's loss the Flames have a .625-point percent against the worst 8 teams for the year.
