About your question, a couple of things - technically bottom half of the league is correct, but I would classify 19th as middle of the pack, especially with such tight variance.

You may have some idea about how rush chances translate to xGA. Based on what I’ve seen, that .5 spread amongst the middle of the pack goalies may translate to about one goal every 13 games
Agree on all accounts.

Not hanging on my hat on it at all. But another example of maybe suggesting the Flames aren't the best when it comes to team defense, requiring more from their goaltender. Dom's comments about Markstrom above lends to that.
