This team maybe overachieved by 4-5 points, sure. But to call them a sub 80 point team is madness. They finally have stability in net after many years of instability (aside from one great season by Marky). The goaltender is part of the team. And the players play well together and all buy in to the team philosophy and structure. That's not a reason to say they overachieved by 20 points, lol.
This team has no elite forwards (though Kadri had arguably an elite season), but they score by committee and get timely goals. It's a formula that works. They just ran out of runway last season or they would have made it in.
Tell you what, if the Flames finish with less than 80 points this season, I'll donate $100 to a charity of your choice. Will you do the same if they finish above 80 points?
