I'm still stuck on this. If a particular team decided to make a comment like "Well, we're certainly not catching <team x>!", then that's the team's prerogative. But teams NEVER talk that way. Even the Jets likely won't admit that they're out of the playoff race until they actually are (for example). In this light, his argument is especially weak.
Like Bingo said, ONLY a giddily cheering reporter would make those types of subjective comments. A more responsible form of reporting might be to say: "After tonight's loss, the Flames face a tremendous task should they want to catch their provincial rivals. It isn't impossible, but it will be difficult."
But to add the part about "it's not reversing" is simply embarrassing.
