The Flames are behind in the first tiebreaker, RW (regulation wins), as well as the 2nd tiebreaker, ROW (reg and overtime wins). And they cannot catch WPG in ROW, so the only way they can win the tiebreaker is by passing WPG in RWs, and winning the 1st tiebreaker.
They trail the Jets by 4 RWs so they need to win 5 games in regulation, and have the Jets win zero games in regulation (or 6 and 1, respectively). Not impossible, but the odds are pretty astronomical.
Easier to just say that the Flames can't win the tiebreaker.
