97 may be a lock but that means nothing if the Flames can't get 97 points. I realize you can't expect them to win every game but to get to 97 points the Flames have to take care of business and two losses in a row or more is not taking care of business as after every loss they have a game fewer to attain 96/97 points leaving them considerably less margin for error. Hoping that other teams collapse around them simply isn't a sound way to make the playoffs because even the Jets beat the Blues last week as they are taking care of business. It really looks like the Flames may need help from the Canucks which totally sucks.
All of that said. It really is house money and personally I feel them just missing the playoffs may leave them hungrier next season as opposed to having possibly a false sense of security that they made it.
