Not sure it was a must-win, but it was close, so huge victory. Keep it going.

It was. For many reasons. Smith got his mojo back which is 99% of it.
Flames have had this mental block with the Oilers since Mcdavid entered the league.
Getting two points tonight gives them a very nice launchpad into the final 11 games. It's a little less stressful fighting for two points against the cali teams now as theyre right there. two more W's and bam.
This was the must win game of the final stretch if they were going to launch an attempt at securing a playoff spot.
