As it stands right now, should the jets/kings win-out their remaining games, the flames are out regardless of how they do in their last three games, hence, not controlling their own destiny.
it would be nice to see the wild continue their strong play against the jets tonight and the oilers actually show an ounce of pride and show up for tonight's game after being outscored 12-2 in their last 2 games.

Yes but if the Flames win their 3 remaining games, they are in and thus they do control their own destiny. This anomaly is due to the remaining games against the teams they're fighting with, technically all three teams control their own destiny. If any one team wins out, they're in. This was debated ad nauseam in another thread.
