In baseball terms, that is 3 games back with 11 to play. Extremely doable. Some examples:
In 2009 the Tigers had a 3 game lead with four to play. They finished tied and lost the one game playoff.
Who can forget the Jays in 1987. 3.5 game lead with 7 to play and finished 2 back.
The 1978 Red Sox, the 2007 Mets. Lots of examples.
What we need more than anything is a good old fashioned losing streak for the Canadiens. Just a monumental collapse that snowballs on them.

Best case coming into the 3 game series is 4pts back with the Habs only having 1 game in hand. Flames could exit that series being up 2 with the Habs having 1 game in hand but the Flames having the tie breaker
