Western & Eastern Conference wild card races

[SuperMatt18]

Coyotes are much less boring this year. Guys like Domi, Duclair, and OEL are pretty exciting young players.

[DJones]

I kind of wrote off the Pacific as for sure not getting a wildcard spot.

Nice to see some that we have a chance.

[Caged Great]

Looking like it will be increasingly necessary for the Flames to go on a 5+ game winning streak once again to erase the deficit.

[TheScorpion]

Ha, we're hopeless.

[polak]

Yeah it's not happening this season.

[Erick Estrada]

Honestly it appears the only race the Flames are in is with the Oilers for last in the conference. However I'm more than a little surprised by the Jets suckage.

More games against the dominant central. If we were in the central we'd probably be fighting for last in the NHL lol.

The Ducks are flying in the same area as the Jets. It is surprising that Anaheim has sucked so far and they play against the inferior Pacific Division.

[dammage79]

And tha Ducks have run up a 4 point lead on CGY and EDM. Wait, we're fracking tied with EDM in points.... yeah 3 games in hand but dang. I feel something Finnish and large coming CGY's way.

The Flames now have 4 games in hand on the Avs too. No joke, 6 games in hand on the Blues and 5 games on the Bhawks.

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Well Sharks and Preds won so we only gained ground on ARI tonight. Still not looking good for playoffs. MIN game still in progress though, I suppose we may gain a bit of ground on them too.
