This is over isn't? Or am I being to cynical?

You're not being cynical, just a realist. This team has shown no indications that they can go on such a run at this point. It if was going to happen, it probably would have.
Truth be told, a lot of seasons for many teams are made or broke on such a run, but they typically happen in the middle of the season somewhere, at least for teams outside of the top or bottom 5. A big heater or losing streak sandwiched somewhere between average results. People see the standings at the end and forget that most of the season was average, but defined by a 15-20 game stretch.
I mean, it could happen. The Flames could go on a heater to end the season and go into the playoffs hot. It just seems really unlikely at this point.
