While a win in one game is certainly going to make a difference in the standings, it will do little to show us that Calgary is actually a decent team.
The -25 goal differential signifies that they have a long way to go before they are considered true contenders. Their team is a true outlier among the playoff and bubble teams.
Now, if they put together a stretch of 5-6 games where Johnny looks and plays like the Johnny of old, that might make a difference. But squeaking out a shoot out win over Vancouver likely means little in the grand scheme of things.
