Hockey Math: Why the Calgary Flames are Better than the Oilers

So if the Buffalo Sabres beats the Edmonton Oilers 10-2 and the Calgary Flames beats Buffalo 5-2, does that mean the Flames would beat the Oilers 25 to 2? Also does this show that the Flames are 12.5 times better? Trust me, it's an easy proof to do :-)

The Oilers were pounded was so bad, even our local sports radio station had to mention it in a song. For all those fans of the Oilers and the Kinks (or are curious about cross-dressing):

I was camera-less for the game, but the Flames did put on "Military Appreciation Night" where some season ticket holders donated their ducats to local soldiers. During the pre-game ceremony, they had a video montage playing some Johnny Cash that was so good, it even had the Flames starting line-up pull back from the blue line so they could check it out on the jumbo-tron. Another nice touch was that all the side games during the tv timeouts had soldiers vying for prizes. As for the game itself, Kipper made two ridiculous saves and the linesmen should have waved off two icing calls against the Flames (luckily they didn't cost us a goal). You usually only hear the "Oilers Suck" chant when they come to town, but the fans busted it out anyways as the Flames pulled ahead in the third period.
