They use numbers to support a theory; it seems to be player driven. The Flames have proven to be greater than the sum of their parts and good on them.
But it's not lazy.
Or in otherwards .... what the hell are you talking about????

As someone that also participates in an industry where if you're right 55% - 60% of the time you're top quartile. Explaining this reality to folks is a tough hill to climb. I appreciate you fighting the good fight though.
Example: "Roger Federer won 54% of the individual points played in his singles career, a statistic he shared during his 2024 Dartmouth commencement speech. He won nearly 80% of his career singles matches in career. He focused on winning the points that mattered.
The above quote also makes me shake my head at the Flames strategy...out work everyone for 77 out of 82games, then get to the playoffs, where everyone tries...lose because it becomes a skill match. Then start the cycle of complaining our few stars are not playoff performers. Rinse and repeat.
82 points...Islanders last year finished with 82points and scored 224 goals to our 225goals. We just allowed only 238 vs their 260. Wild were at 228 for and 239 against...for 97points. Sounds like the betting line is where it should be and we're in the wide variability part of the league for the regular season where we can see 15pts of deviation in results.
