Unfortunately if they maintain their current pace on the road they will go 5-8 the rest of the way and they will need to go 10-0 at home and hope that the magic number goes down to 54 to make the playoffs.

Look at the Flames 6 road losses this year: in Vancouver, in Phoenix, in Colorado, in Anaheim, in LA, in LA. So 5 of the 6 losses against those big teams the Flames will struggle against.
Of the 13 road games left, only 3 are against the big teas I mentioned in my earlier post: 1 more in Vancouver and 2 in Chicago.
It's not a creampuff schedule from here on out, but the team is only 4 points out and has a lot of winnable games ahead.
Like I said, dare to dream. IMO, it's a better way to live than wallowing in negativity.
