Vic Ferrari doing more great work over at Irreverent Oiler Fans. He's compiled goal-posts for/against numbers for all the teams through the first twenty games or so. By his count, the Flames come out as the 2nd unluckiest club behind the NYR so far. Calgary has hit 14 posts so far, while their opponents have only hit 7 (+7). It'd be interesting to combine this number with a "pucks kicked in by own defencemen" +/- figure. I guarantee that would vault the Flames into Biblical Job territory.
A lot of stuff has gone wrong for Calgary in the first 7 weeks. They haven't played great hockey, but they've also been cursed by the hockey gods a fair bit. You have to think things will start to even out eventually.
