Reality: If STL beats SEA and CGY beats ARI, we drop to 9th and still have enough games left to drop to 12th (if we win out and BUF NJD lose the one game they have left).

This is true, but still, this post-deadline tanking is one of the best we've ever seen from the Flames.
Much better than in 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2016, in which the Flames won many meaningless games down the stretch.
In 2013 in particular, they were passed by Nashville, Tampa, Colorado, etc down the stretch.
