Just look at the 12 teams that made the playoffs in divisions other than the North... do the Flames hold a candle to any of them? I think not.

Who said they did? I don't think the Oilers, Jets, or Habs do either
Fact is if the Flames won one or two more games...or the game against Montreal that they hit four posts and lost by a goal they would be in.
They were certainly in it considering how bad Montreal was...they needed one more win FFS to say they were out of it is being obtuse.
Its true they are better off not making it but that doesn't change the facts they were one win away from making the playoffs as it was setup this season.
