Take out the points for overtime loses and the Flames have 72 points, take out the Kings and they have 66 points.
The point isn't that one team should be mad or angry, its just an interesting discussion on what effect the shootout and overtime time points have on the play off races
Just for fun, in 3-2-1 system Flames would be 27-13-27-6 (W - OTW - L - OTL) good for 113 points. Kings would be 33-3-23-14 and sit with 119 points or 2 wins ahead of the Flames.
We've had 6 games go to the shootout, of those we've won 4. 6 Shootout games is the second lowest in the NHL and 4 shootout wins 4 wins is the third lowest shootout win total. We're tied for 3rd best extra time record at 13-6

If we don't make the playoffs it will be because we weren't good enough to, loser point or no loser point. You can look directly to the 8 game losing streak if we do in fact miss.

Not whining, just making an observation.
