Personally, I think everyone's getting a little ahead of everything during this Flames win streak, when speaking about the Preds/Kings/Blues. Maybe it's because it feels so late in the season, but there's still about 40 points for each team to win or lose, that's a ton.
One hot/cold streak could have St. Louis jumping back in the division spot and Nashville being our competition, so of course we're still actively hoping for them to lose.
And not to go all polak, but even the sentiment that the Kings are pretty much done is very premature, as teams often have a short losing streak after a winning one, and we could easily be sitting here going "Holy crap, the Kings are four points up on us" if we hit a minor bump.
TLDR: Long season, 40 points left up for grabs, we're not even close to being past cheering for Preds losses. Preds are 6 points up, Blues have a game in hand, that's not firm with 20 games left.
