The facts haven't changed. 96 guarantees you a playoff spot. If you get 95 points or below, you need help from other teams. This isn't a snake that is trying to portray the 8 seed, or the Presudent's Trophy. It's simply saying that if you get to 96 points you don't have to worry about what any other team is doing. You'll be in the playoffs if you get 96. It doesn't mean you can't make it with 83 points. This isn't a standings, sportsclubstats, or magic number thread. It's really not that hard if a concept.

No Western Conference team has achieved 96 points and missed the playoffs. Multiple Western Conference teams have achieved 95 points and missed the playoffs. The Flames still can make the playoffs without getting 96 points, but they will need help from other teams. This may well be one of those years. That said, none of what other teams are doing are relative to the snake. As long as you focus on your own team, and achieving 96 points, you'll be okay.
