Feel free to argue a different number if you think it makes a difference, 7% certainly feels low. But 13th in the conference kind of speaks for itself.
I just find it incredulous to believe a team at this spot in the standings is getting caught by “trap” games. As I said, if you believe that seems like you’d have to believe that many of the team’s 14 regulation wins were trap games for the opponent.

The Flames are a game below .500 40 games into a season where it's projected you need 93 points to get in (11 games over .500) and that will likely rise given how many teams are battling for that spot.
I think it's lazy by the media to say the Flames are two points out of a playoff spot.
That literally might be the case, but a slightly deeper look tells you the writing is on the wall.
They need to go 25-13-4 for .643 and a 105 point pace over 42 games to get to 93 points.
It's over.
(and it's not 7%, they lost 7% in the Philly loss ... they're at 17% now)
