The truest version would be to compare each actual opponent, which this appears to be closer to doing.

At the time of that post, the Flames had more road games in their remaining schedule than home games. Also, we have more outstanding games against playoff teams against non-playoff teams. Thus, I was pointing out that with more outstanding road games, against stronger teams, and a significantly worse road record than home record, that games in hand have a less value.
