To me, there are two numbers that suggest this team could still make a push for the playoffs in a weak division:

Flames' goal differential in October: -23
Goal differential since then: -2

The sample size is getting large enough to suggest that this was an average team that had a rotten start, and not a rotten team that went on a temporary hot streak. In the Pacific this year, average will probably get you into the dance.

Of course, if they can find a goalie who does what Dubnyk did last year, look out.
