That's a sure lot of non-Playoff teams.
I wouldn't use the Kings as a measuring stick personally. That's not a playoff team, that's a dynasty.

Not using kings as a measuring stick. The flames are behind in the development stage compared to stronger teams like the Kings. Just a fact. The flames have a lot of good pieces to build upon. Pretty good for a rebuilding team!
Results are results, all the teams Calgary are competing with for a spot have cooled of hot teams and won when it mattered, that is why it's not looking good for the flames. The defense is gassed and goaltending is hit and miss at best for Calgary right now. This road trip is going to be crucial, in my opinion I doubt they have enough gas in the tank to pull it off. Excuses are for non-playoff teams.
