Which is somewhat odd, rationally. I think the roster is undeniably better than last season, and much as I've lost my faith in Gulutzan I don't think he's somehow worse than before, so I should be expecting better results. But looking at them play I just don't.
"PDO" as a measurement of "luck" is still ridiculous.

PDO is a dumb stat, but the Flames' awful shooting % and the fact that they are heavily outchancing opponents is a pretty solid indicator that they are unlucky and not receiving the results they "deserve" based on their play, especially since they have generally decent goaltending this season. The Flames have many players who have previously been good at finishing so in my opinion it comes down to luck.
