Flames sure aren't getting any help on the OOT scoreboard, but I have a feeling it will turn around soon - particularly for the Jets. Their next 5 games are CHI, NYR, VAN, MIN, and STL. It's very much possible that they are about to go on a 5 game losing streak. Then having only 2 games remaining after that (COL and CGY), their max attainable points would be 94. If that's the case, the Flames would be able to sneak in with a 3-4-1 record. That looks A LOT less daunting than the projected 97-98 points that's being thrown around.
Of course there's still a lot of hockey to be played, and many other teams and variables are involved, but this is one scenario I would love to see be played out. In any case, let's just get in!
