Too early to be talking playoffs. Look around the league and there are a handful of teams including the Flames still working to get their feet under them (Flyers, Rangers, Canucks all come to mind right away). Although, it would be fair to say a prolonged losing streak like 5 games or so is certainly the closest thing to a season killer you can have in this short season. If the Flames win tonight and/or Saturday I hope we can keep the playoff (or early golf tee time) talk away for another ten games or so because things can change pretty quick and trying to call it so soon is just going to do harm to our blood pressure.
