Wednesday was Imaginary Game #3, with the Flames already having lost Imaginary Games #1 and #2. The idea being that the Flames need to win four of their remaining five to win the Imaginary Series.
I think it is monumentally silly. It is much more straightforward and accurate to state the obvious: the Flames need to win at least 4/5 v. Montreal.

When you say 4/5 I assume you mean that within the context of an imaginary 7 game series in which we are already down by 2 ?
