I also think the other thing to watch for is the oilers down the stretch. Talbot has played a lot of games and they see it necessary to play him on back to backs. If he burns out that 7 point gap may be in reach. Not really that inconceivable to go 3-0-1 better than the oilers over the last 28 games.

Yup. With this much parity it comes down to the divisional games and the head to head games especially.
Excluding the head to head games, here are Calgary and Edmonton's records this year:
EDM: 50G, 24-18-8, 56 points
CAL.: 50G, 27-21-2, 56 points
####ting the bed against them is the entire difference between the two teams for the season so far.
For those 4 games against the Kings, if one team can dominate the season series, it will almost certainly be the difference.
