The way they are playing I honestly don't see where they will win again. Say what you want about the Oilers but they have been playing their opponents closer than the Flames. This team badly needs to meet an opponent that is on a bad night just to gain some confidence.
Not really all that upset though as I still feel this team could use another top 5 draft pick in the long run as defensive depth in the organization is poor.

Holy pessimism! How bad would the Flames have to play from here on out to end up with a top 5 pick? .150?
We may have lost 6 in a row but we're only 2 points out of
2nd in the Pacific Division.
To get a top 5 pick this team would have to completely implode on a "black hole" scale.
