I find teams just want to get home and will go through the motions on the final road game. So far this year the Flames are 3-4-1 in those games. Calgary is also 6-1-1 at home on the first game back after a road trip. Let's cheer for those records to be 4-4-1 and 7-1-1 as of April 8th. The last two games look to be huge, but I'd be ecstatic if Calgary went into those two games with 96-97 points already. I may be overly optimistic, but could you imagine Calgary finishing with 100 points?

Those two points are crucial - no way will Hartley allow his team to be "going through the motions" in this game. Hopefully with a W it is the conclusion of a five game road trip where the Flames went 4-1.
