Let me say for the record that Nashville is most definitely a threat to the Flames playoff hopes. In fact they are THE BIGGEST threat of any team that does not currently hold a spot.
Thanks Hawks.
Nashville passing the Canucks or not passing the Canucks has no baring on the Flames chances. Nashville winning has a huge baring on the Flames chances. Vancouver does not currently sit in a playoff spot.
Like others have said, ideally the Flames pass a few more teams, like the Oilers and the Blues in the next few days, and Nashvilles performance matters less and less.
If I am correct, this is the first time this season that the Flames can say they would be in the playoffs if every team trailing won every game in hand. This is a feat. Still lots of work to do. Here's looking at you Edmonton.
