After they beat Edmonton and Ari one last time they will have 22 out of a possible 24 pts against teams that are more interested in losing than winning Ari-Edm and buffalo
The Jets are finished playing tankers and picked up 14 out of a possible 16 pts against them. No more "free" pts for the Jets
if the games played against teams wanting to lose were not counted the standings would be:
Team GP pts
MINNESOTA 69 81
VANCOUVER 68 80
WINNIPEG 69 76
LOS ANGELES 67 74
SAN JOSE 68 74
DALLAS 69 74
CALGARY 68 73
COLORADO 69 70

Why do you assume the Flames are going to beat the Oilers and Coyotes? Yes they should but I surely hope they don't share this cocky mentality as they could easily go 1-1 against those teams or worse as the Flames are far from a perfect team. I could totally see Hiller or Ramo giving up a few of their patented soft goals against the Oilers making for an upset.
