The Flames have been Jekyll and Hyde for awhile
This season, the Calgary Flames haven’t been amazing – at least not with any consistency. They have been a frustrating team for fans to watch at times for this reason. But looking back upon their history, particularly since the current era of the team began in 2013-14, one shining truth is revealed.
They’ve always been like this.
Allowing the first goal
The Flames have allowed the first goal more than half the time in every season except for 2015-16 and 2018-19. When they allow the first goal, their winning percentage ranges from .222 to .435. When they score first, they tend to have a winning percentage between .647 and .878. (In 2015-16 that dropped to .587, but that’s an obvious outlier.)
