I don't think not worrying about a loss is defeatist. Quite the opposite. The Flames are in a PO spot right now. In order to keep it, they have to simply play as well or better than the teams below them. Which they've done all year. Their record would be even better without the 8 game losing streak where they played pretty well in a lot of games but didn't get a point. So playing above .500 is doable if they avoid another streak like that.

They just lost a game to an elite team. It happens. They also stole a point off a game they could easily have lost, in Minnie, and got two in a game where they had to recover from a 3-0 lead. That's NHL hockey, and it's not for the faint of heart.

I hope they make the POs. But I won't freak out if they don't.
