Here is my Flames-centric optimistic prognosis...trying to look at this in a smaller window of time:
Looking at the next small-ish segment of the season for the Flames, Canucks, & Blues from now until April 5th.
Blues play: Avs x2, wings and Pens. I'm thinking a 2-2 record is likely
Canucks play: CBJ, Jets, Kraken and Ducks. 3-1 is likely
Flames play: Oilers, Avs, Utah, Ducks, Knights. lets be optimistic here and say we go 4-1 with a loss against the Avs
Blues would have 89 points and 4 games left
Flames would have 87 points and 6 games left
Canucks would have 86 points and 6 games left
The Blue and Canucks record in the next 5 doesn't seem too unrealistic (to me at least) so if the Flames can take 4 of 5, it's anyone's game.
We have to take care of business tomorrow
