I hate the Oilers as much as anyone but if they win today it helps the Flames. Anyone who disagrees either is lying to themselves or literally hate the oilers more than they like the Flames. If so, good for you guys I'll be hoping they help the Flames and then go to hating them next game.

Most of this is baseless conjecture. The fact of the matter is that the Flames will either make the playoffs or they will not
on their own merit. The extremely slim margin of improvement that an Oilers win provides to the statistical probability of the Flames chances does not affect that in the slightest. Most fans here recognize that and cannot simply choose to wish well being on the Oilers dumpster fire for the sake of something so patently negligible.
