If we win today, the "all but statically eliminated" argument should be temporary thrown out the window.

3 teams - 1 spot.

Vancouver- we play 4 of our 9 remaining games against them, they play top of the division teams, and they currently have a GF/GA diff of -17. Rational thought doesn't prevail that our odds vs them of making the playoffs is a snowballs chance in hell for the flames. Far from a sure thing, but that isn't the same as "all but statically eliminated".

Habs- if we win today in regulation, they are ahead by 2 points, plus 1 game in hand. With a loss today, they remain 3-7 in their last 10 if my math is correct. They then have a much tougher schedule.

Win today Flames, and even the most argumentative people would need to admit this is a playoff race. Loose today and well....
