It will have to take a super dive to get into the top 10 now. Like maxing out with 5-6 points for the rest of the season.

I agree it isn't likely but the Flames have a very tough schedule the next 7.
They don't have to tank the last 16, they might have to tank the last 9 if the first 7 don't go well.
SJ and Anaheim have no reason to tank and have young players wanting to improve. Records say we should win but sitting a few guys and just falling out of the playoffs could have those teams favored to win as they have been playing meaningless hockey all year and have young players wanting to finish strong.
Flames need to lose without tanking the next 7 to have a chance. Maybe next 8 as Utah is game 8. Looks tough right now but small sample size anything can happen. Didn't Nashville win 17 in a row or something to make it one year and made it last year with half their team injured?
Every day the outlook will change win or lose. Win tonight and we will be looking at playoffs lol
