How many extra points in the standings would the Flames get if they played the same teams, hit all their required destinations, and had an ideal schedule designed by Flame fans at the expense of the other 31? The null hypothesis would be 0<x<1 for me.

No one was arguing that the Flames' schedule is harder overall, over the course of the season.
The argument was that there are individual games where a team is tired and disadvantaged. It happens to every team, over 82 games (well, it happens more to western teams, but that's a different conversation). The fact that it averages out, over 82 games, does not preclude it from happening.
