I know that were our roles reversed I would never try and collect on it if the season ended the same way. It's only a hundred bucks, but it's the principle of it.
What are the thoughts here? Should I pay up?

I've got the same bet and the same dilemma. The other day I offered to pay my Uncle, so there was no indication I was a sore loser on the points % technicality. The NHL did say that the play in round does not count as playoffs though, so if the flames make it and the oiler's don't I feel we're both off the hook.
