Since the last update the Flames have gone 1-0-2, picking up four points in three games. That's a 109 point pace, yet somehow many think the sky is falling. Including game 71 they are 2-0-2 in their last four. The red snake has been above the black snake for the last two games, and five games out of the last eight.
There are 8 games left and the Flames need 9 points in them to reach the 96 point mark. They are a combined 15-5-2 against the remaining eight opponents, which is a 119 point pace. To hit 96 points they'd need to go 4-3-1. I believe that's doable. If some of those wins are against the teams they are fighting for, 96 should be enough. If they continue to dominate Edmonton and Arizona, they need to go 2-3-1 in the other 6 games. If you gave me that option at the beginning of the year, I'd have taken it in a heartbeat.
@ Minnesota 0-1-1
@ Nashville 2-0-0
@ Dallas 0-1-1
@ St. Louis 0-2-0
@ Edmonton 4-0-0
vs Arizona 4-0-0
vs Los Angeles 3-1-0
@ Winnipeg 2-0-0
Let's make the playoffs. Go Flames Go!
