Well they are 2 points out of the playoffs, but that team they are trailing (Edmonton) has played 4 fewer games (and has also been playing above a .700 points % for like 30 games), and then the 1st place wild card team is 6 points ahead of the Flames.
And then ignoring all this, there are currently 3 teams between the Flames and the last wild card spot right now. They would have to leap frog 4 teams to make it in.
Does anyone really see this team as one that can go on a roll and accomplish that? 7% playoff odds seems about right to me.
