Quick played amazing last year in the playoffs, I think Kipper could do the same for us. And it isn`t complete garbage, pretty sure the Flames were only 5 points back.

The advent of overtime and shoot outs means almost every team is 'only 5 points out', thats the point of fake parity, on paper almost every team is in it, in reality its impossible to make up those 5 points as the guys you are chasing tend to be picking up loser points.
Take tonight, 3 out of 6 games goes to OT, making up 5 points in todays league requires up to 5 wins over the team you are chasing
