The rest of the Pacific playoff contenders are not falling off. Vegas is Vegas, a real good team. Coyotes have been consistently good for a good year now. Oilers and Canucks are not falling off like past years.
With how inconsistent the Flames have been this year, it’s a real possibility that they miss.

Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine.
So coming off 1st in the west doesnt instill a little faith in their ability? Yet you place more faith in three teams that didn't even qualify last season as being a shoo in? Alright. I saw the first third of this season as them licking their wounds mentally from being shown up in a big way, while dealing with a coach that wasn't helping them feel better about themselves and their game, even possibly holding them down. Since Ward has stepped in they've inched closer to form. No it's not every night, but they're showing flashes of dominance and its trending in the right direction. 15-6-1 speaks for itself. And why apologize for having goalies that bailed you out a couple times? Good teams need that and get that too.
It's looking more cup half full than empty with Peters gone and they've had two lengthy streaks now, so the first wasn't just a one hit wonder.
Being the best team in the league in one goal contests also is highly encouraging I think.
