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.

You're missing the point. The Flames showed their true colors in Ottawa. They proved that they weren't going to win the games they needed to win, regardless of how bad Montreal s*at the bed down the stretch. And oh boy did they s*it the bed down the stretch. They kept the illusion of the Flames being in the playoff race going a lot longer than it ever realistically was.
Barely squeaking into the playoffs in the weakest division in hockey is nothing to write home about. Missing the playoffs in said division is downright embarrassing. The Leafs are going to pump the Habs, and would have done the same to the Flames if they had got in by some miracle.
