If the hurdle is 95 (might be 1-2 points high) the Oilers need to go 39-20-3 the rest of the way to get in. That's a 107 point pace.
Not a good plan to just assume the middling teams just stay at .500 with no one emerging.
Flames need to go 36-21-3 (103 point pace)

Ouch! Even with the Flames tied for a wildcat spot today, it's really far more likely they miss than make it when you look at the math behind it.
Really wish we'd have 3pt games so the standings made sense by just looking, rather that doing mathematical analysis to figure out what the Standings really are
