I don't buy that fatigue problem at all. The problem is the Flames let the other team dictate the play early then once they are down by a goal or two that's when they start playing Flames hockey. Against Colorado and Dallas their goalie sees more of the Flames shot so it was an easy save. Whenever they go in front of the net and try to block the goalie's view, they tend to score more.
I agree with someone when he/she mentioned that Mason Raymond is not shooting the puck more. He seems to try to be a playmaker so he hang on to the puck more and ended up running out of room or just lose the puck completely. The guy got speed and got a decent shot so why not take advantage of it.
I don't believe the Jets can hang on to the last wild card spot. They are playing well without Byfuglien and Myers but for how long?
