We are 11 games in and we're already at 6. That means those will need to be made up. The Flames will have to win a larger portion of games to claw their way back into things.
The worrying thing is that the next games this month are
SJ - (T-9th)
LA - (T-23rd)
ANA - (T-16th)
DAL - (T-23rd)
NYR - (4th)
MIN - (T-5th)
ARI - (30th)
CHI - (T-5th)
DET - (T-5th)
BUF - (T-14th)
CBJ - (T-18th)
BOS - (T-14th)
PHI - (13th)
NYI - (T-23rd)
TOR - (T-18th)
8 Vs top 15 teams, 7 vs bottom teams with 4 of those being against teams that made the playoffs last year.
In other words, fun.

This kind of tells the whole story, of the games mentioned, those are tough teams. Between now and Christmas, we play 28 games(the bulk of those games are against some tough opponents), if we go below the .500 mark, than I think we miss the playoffs.
