You think the Flames do things differently than what these simple counting models suggest to a degree that is greater than other teams (or different) but have zero proof of any of this.
Add in you've had a multi season goaltender angle that often looks at the backup and it sends more shade in my opinion.
So yeah no doubt I'm dubious and will continue to be.

Don’t you find it interesting that coincidentally both goalies have much worse stats?
What do they have in common.. hmmmm. The team in front of them?
We know the team is drastically underachieving. They have lost more than their share of 1 goal games. I can also point out several games off the top of my head where the Flames have made egregious and costly mistakes, relative to their opponent
You say I don’t have any proof. Fact is, for every Flames game I watch, I also observe a team that is not the Flames.
I do believe that the Flames make more egregious costly mistakes than other teams. I point them out, and we don’t really see the same called out for the opponent. Each time that happens, it is another data point. Just not something measured
Lots of third period collapses. No third period comebacks.
We observe it often when they play. Other teams aren’t imposing their will on the Flames. They are losing games more often than they win.
I have commented on it many times, as you know. You call it my gut, but when it happens repeatedly enough, I still question why it doesn’t start to make you question if there may be something there.
Even you yourself stated that you didn’t think this one was on the goalie, by the way.
