That means we have to out play Anaheim who is 2 points up with a game in hand. I am not sure I like those odds.
And that doesn't even take into consideration SJ and Arizona who we also have to outplay as well.
I guess the head to head games can be a positive if we can win them in regulation but those games seem to result in a lot of 3 point games which aren't a great way to make up big gaps.

People need to stop being concerned about the standings now on a night in night out basis. Regardless of what others do, it's very easy to see just how unlikely the Flames making up this deficit is. If they are the best team in the league from here on out, they likely squeak in to the 3rd spot in the Pacific, anything less and they likely miss.
So much less stressful than looking at the standings each day, just watch them play for a few weeks, and see how close the get to winning 65% of their games. If they do it, feel good smile and check back in two weeks.
