That's the only game down the stretch that scares me. Not because I'm frightened of the Ducks, but because that goddamn building is pure evil. There are clearly dark supernatural forces at work when the Flames play there, and it's incredibly unnerving and frustrating.

If the Flames can somehow exorcise the Honda Center demons, it would definitely be a huge confidence booster going into a playoff series against that team.

I like it. If we beat them in Anaheim Calgary will have a huge mental advantage.

Just a really really long con

LA would have to go 12-3 to get to 96 points and pass the Flames...not to mention all the other teams in the race

95 would be more than enough, its looking almost certain that low 90s will do it especially with the favorable ROW the Flames have

LA, Calgary, Nashville, Edmonton, St. Louis, Anaheim

Only ONE of these teams will miss the playoffs and Calgary is certainly in the drivers seat

Anaheim has the better point percentage technically.

LA's game at hand tomorrow is against Arizona, this is a huge two days for them. They win tonight and tomorrow and they're right back in it, potentially 4 points back of us with 3 games left against us.

Let's hope the desert dogs do us a solid tomorrow night and beat the Kings!

In that scenario they are ahead of the Blues and 3 back of the Oilers. It's not like it's down to Kings/Flames for the last spot as you seem to think

Flames go 11-2-1 to finish with 103 points and overtake the Sharks for the division.

Sharks go 5-8-1 to finish with 100 points and come 2nd in the div.

Oilers go 4-9-1 to finish with 88 points and out of the playoffs.

The Wild and Bhawks slump and get to 100-103 points with less ROWs than the Flames, Flames get 1st place in the Western conf!

Who cares about the other teams.

Edmonton could easily slip down into the second wildcard spot since they're only 2 points up on St. Louis.

However, LA hasn't been making up any group lately. They're still 5 points back of the final wildcard spot. They need to start winning some games if they want to push Edmonton out.

I think the next four games for each team will determine the plight of the Kings. For LA to stay on the mix they need to beat the bottom feeders in AZ and BUF, and the then they may still be in the mix to take one of the two Alberta teams down. Otherwise they are left focusing on STL, and the Blues schedule is cake after they clear California. Looks like the Kings are going to have to run the table against Alberta if they have a hope. We should know whether the Flames are fighting for playoff position or life before they leave on the eastern swing. strength of schedule puts us in one of the worse positions, but the roll and the 10 point cushion should make it extremely difficult for the Kings to catch us. Still not in until the math makes it impossible, but the Kings are on life support. They didn't look very good against a pretty disinterested Blues squad.

NHL Power Rankings: Flames on the rise

http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Hocke...rise/187/83716

Todd Cordell
3. Calgary Flames (38-26-4)

Goaltending held the Flames back for much of the year but that's no longer the case as Brian Elliott has allowed two goals or fewer in nine of his last 10 starts. It's no coincidence the wins are piling up as a result.

Peter Tessier

2. Flames are 9-0-1 in last 10 and thoroughly outclassed the Jets on Saturday. The defence looks tight and they are the last team anyone should want to play in the first round.

So how does the Flames getting 2 points against the Stanley Cup champs affect this thread?

We lose the next 4 and we'd stay at 82 points.

Hence tied.

Edit: I see I wrote Arizona instead of LA. Damn.

7 points between the Oilers and Kings. Kings are 5-3-2 in the last 10, Oilers are 4-5-1. They have thee head-to-head games. Let's say Kings go 2-1-0 in those games... That would mean they'd have to catch up 5 points the other 11 games. Let's say Oilers go 4-6-1. Kings would then need... 6-3-2.

This could happen. Go Iggy

You're right, math is hard. Try this: https://www.kumon.com/ca-en/
