A couple missed opportunities makes this 7 game set more challenging, but definitely doable. A final 3-1 record wins them the 8th segment. They also have 1 point banked, but best not to use that.
In the big picture it will be interesting to see how Colorado does sans Mackinnon as the spotlight is on them. The way I see it is the Flames have two potential roads into the playoffs. Battle the 3 Cali teams for the 2 PAC spots (so 4 teams battling for 2 spots) or the final WC a race between the one Cali team, Flames, Minny and Colorado.
Interestingly, from the teams we are racing we still have the following games left:
COL 3
SJ 2
LA 1
ANA 1
