[Caged Great]

Even after winning the last two games, the Flames find themselves tied for dead last.
If not for the late game heroics, they would be 4 back of any of the other teams and 9 out of a playoff spot.

They have a long way to go. The only way they will have a legitimate shot is if they collect 18-20 points this month. 9 or 10 wins out of the 13 games. Sounds like a lot, but you have to figure the other teams will finish 1-2 games above .500. To beat that, you have to be significantly better.

SJ - 18th
BUF - 23rd
NYR - 4th
@ NSH - 11th
@ DAL - 1st
@ STL - 6th
@ DET - 6th
WIN - 18th
EDM - 28th (tied with CGY for last with Carolina)
ANA - 23rd
LA - 8th

They have to win 7 or 8 of those games. They have a long way to go.
