3-3-1..all tight games, maybe one bad loss, but if they can get some puck luck/whatever you want to call it, and can turn it into 9+ points, I think you can start talking about playoff matchups....it wil be that tight at the end.
Toughest part of the year, this is where you hope the team has the mental strength, given the spacing out of these games....a boost from the trade deadline for the backhalf would be ideal (recall the first game Jokinen played after the first acquisition in 2009? Him and Iginla both had 3 points early in the 2nd vs the Flyers). edit: Sorry, Iginla had 2 assists on 2 Jokinen goals (and Olli had a penalty), and that was in the first 15 minutes of the game, as the Flames beat the Flyers 5-1 on March 5 2009.
Flames first game post deadline this year is against the Flyers as well.
