(Not saying we need to win every game, but we lose one, we wake up outside of the playoffs the next day and then there's the real possibility we never see a playoff spot again this season)

The point of this thread was more to stop focusing on what other teams were doing, and just track the progress of the Flames as they try and get to the 96 point mark. The theory being that if they hit 96 points, they will be in the playoffs.
Your over the top hyperbole on what constitutes a must win game continues to baffle. The Flames have lost several of your "must wins" and are still very much in contention. When you say they "literally lose one game it can cost us the season", that's patently false. When the Flames play tomorrow, I hope they win. If they don't, it literally hasn't cost them the season. It means they still have 15 games to try and get into the playoffs. If they win all 15 they would finish with 107 points. I'd wager any amount of money they'd get into the playoffs with 107 points. The one loss which "literally can cost them their season" would be a moot point.
It's unlikely the Flames will go 16-0 during the rest of the regular season. They will lose a few games. Until the math says "must win" or "literally one loss and they're out", let's tone it down a bit. When you say that literally one loss can cost them the season, and then say they don't need to win every game, it leads me to believe you don't know what literally means.
