Edmonton in the West in regulation: 11 wins 4 losses. Edmonton is mowing down the chasing teams in the west.

Like it or not Edmonton is a major challenge/event with the McDavid / Draisaitl show that the rest of the West have considered elite from the start of the season along with the Avs, VGK , Wild and Stars . These teams were expected to have a good chance to come out of the West and play in the SCF. Not my personal analysis but the betting odds at the start of the season

The Flames were 22 to one odds at the start and have moved to 8.5 to one. Oilers started at 10.5 to one and have moved to just under 7 to 1

The Flames might have won some games where the opposition was not fully prepared to for the game the Flames were playing. That will not happen going forward.
Just lost to Seattle and LA...get outplayed every night

were 9-1 and are now 16-7...mostly home games too

who is falling off again?

People might take you seriously if you didn't only post after losses, if you are actually a fan you should re-evaluate your hobby

I honestly couldn't care less who they beat and who they don't as long as they keep rolling along at a top ten points %.

The Flames have the 2nd best points % in the West, and nobody is taking those points away from them.

A guy's obsession with finding something to worry about isn't going to effect the math at all.

Ricardodw isn't obsessed with finding something to worry about. He isn't worried one bit, as he is not a Flames fan and never has been. He's obsessed with finding something for the rest of us to worry about so he can enjoy it.

Fortunately, he's very bad at it. His conclusions never follow from his premises.
