While I'm not ready to declare a playoff birth for the Flames, its looking likely. There is a lot of work to still put in.

Even the Oilers aren't guaranteed to make the playoffs yet.

A Flames-Oilers first round match up would be epic. It would create a buzz in this Province and become the top news every day. Those 80's playoff games between the Flames and Oilers are part of the reason I'm an NHL fan today.

We could use and deserve a distraction from: The economy, USA politics, Canada politics, Alberta politics, Calgary politics, pipelines, oil prices, murder trials, police transgressions, cold weather, and so many other things.

It would be thoroughly exciting.

Bring on the Oilers.
