They are pretty much already there. Very closely packed race, but if the Flames falter even a little, they would likely be in the bottom 10.

Having said that, given what sounds like a pretty weak draft year and with the Ping-Pong ball rules, I hope they keep pushing, and if they just miss, so be it.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
