I agree. It's why I'm perfectly fine with the playoff format and tiebreak rules as it is. This is one of those anomalies where the Flames got the points typically they would need to make the playoffs, but other teams in their conference also got it, and had more favourable results.
If this was to become a more frequent occurrence, then reevaluation could be considered.
