90% of a streak is mental.

Or was it just that the Ducks team the Flames struggled with aged out and then suddenly the Ducks were in a re-build and the Flames could win there.
Florida struggled to beat Tampa...until they just built a better team than Tampa.
Now the entire Eastern conference is struggling to beat Florida, and the entire Western conference is struggling to beat Edmonton.
It's not just because it's mental - it's because they have just built teams stronger than the rest of the conference.
And generally teams like this have 3 year windows of dominance...then age, cap, free agency, etc levels the playing field out again and the next dominant team will replace them.
