One McAvi or Skinner injury away.
Wouldn't even write it off if they stay healthy.

Skinner isn't good even if healthy.

In 9th, don't trade anyone Conroy!
PS.....Oilers win last game but stay at 68 points. If we had your point system they for sure would miss.

It's funny because it feels like the Flames have had such a tough schedule all year long...but that's probably just because we lose the games that should be easier.

Was waiting for an oiler fan to whine about that. Fine, I'll update it. Like the league is using my post as official positioning.

I expect that these Nashville/Minnesota/St.Louis head to heads see a lot of 3 point games. Even the Kings will probably lose a few more OT games here.
Going to be really hard to reel Nashville in at this point.

There should be a 3 headed snek for the trades. This thread will be irrelevant when the trades happen.

Who cares - all I know is Tanev and Hanifin are locks to get traded The only 3 headed race to trade deadlines also includes Markstrom. That's the 3 headed snek I was talking about

Lol. It’s almost March and the league hasn’t arranged a single Los Angeles/Vancouver game yet? They have all 4 to go.
I wonder if Los Angeles spends money advertising on Canucks games trying to get Vancouver people to visit here. Doubt it.

Seattle for whatever reason feel like a nothing burger this year.
In any case, I hope Minny beats NSH in regulation tonight, need to shorten the gap between 7/8 and 9-12 then watch the race really unfold.

Fair enough, it is just that the Kraken are just two points back of the Blues, one point back of the Wild, and have a game in hand on both teams.

Always good to see this type of thread come up for the stretch run to the playoffs. Thanks topfiverecords for getting the thread going.
We can now say welcome to the party Seattle as the Kraken are ahead of the Wild and tied with the Blues and Flames.
Kraken 63pts Last 10: 5-4-1
23 games remaining; 12 home / 11 away (home 14-10-5: away 12-12-6)
Games vs The Ins (10):
WPGx3, DALx2, VEGx2, EDM, NSH, LAK
Games vs The Outs (13) (BDs 2):
ANAx3, SJx2, ARIx2, STL, MTL, BUF, WAS, CGY, MIN
The Knights are very close to getting on this too as they're just a point up on the Oilers.

With 23 games left and 7 points separating the playoff ins from the outs. I think all of Calgary, St.Louis, Seattle, Minnesota can be cast aside. It's at a point where you need to be going 7-2-1 now in 10 game stretches to reel in a team that goes 5-4-1. I don't think anyone in this chase pack I'd going to play at a 700 points clip to close out the season. The 8 playoff teams in the West are set and there's 7 teams who will move around for position.

I think it's a bit early to say it's set, but it is getting very unlikely. Two things have to happen for any those teams to get in:
1) either NAS or LAK have to fall back (certainly possible)
AND
2) you have to beat ALL the other teams in the group (unlikely)
Basically these teams have a 25% chance of winning that race, though MIN is a little behind, and SEA loses the tiebreaker to everyone. Then multiply that by the probability of the leading teams falling back enough to be catchable (50%? - probably less than that)
For the Flames specifically, with their depleted defense, I just can't see them being the best of the pack, never mind reel in the leaders.
