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.

FFS who is saying it is
Fact is Flames will be one or two wins short...they weren't out of it 2 months ago. Its about math not bias and I told you so's.
MATH
Anyway if you guys want to keep thinking the Flames were out of the playoffs with the 6OA pick and then ran the table but still missed the playoffs just so you can be miserable then go for it. That isn't what happened though.
Not once have I or anyone else I know of on CP said the Flames were good enough and shouldn't major changes. Heck the Flames are better off missing the playoffs if we are being honest but that doesn't change the MATH that they were totally in the race until a few days back.
Heck Montreal had a couple pretty fortunate comebacks...Koskinen anyone?
