As much as we are in control of our own fate. These two points tonight could be the difference between us missing or making. The Oilers already are pretty comfortably in a playoff spot while the Preds aren't.
You don't have to cheer for the Oilers but cheering for Nashville is foolish and isn't in the Flames best interest.

Here's my longer response. Yes, Nashville losing increases our chances - according to Sportsclubstats. That's it. While I like the site, I don't think it's methodology will be able to take into account that an Edmonton loss goes a long way to putting 3rd in the division into play. So I'm not all that convinced our chances are less if Nashville wins.
Given that, why cheer for Edmonton at all? And yet this is another hill you want to die on? It's arguments like this that make *you* look foolish.
