All of that, and they're still on the outside looking in. Blues are determined to be a dangerous team in the playoffs at this point, so they're a lock to make a spot. So it's up to Flames chasing the Wild, and staying ahead of Canucks (who they're behind at the moment).
Flames have the worst goal differential of all this teams in the Wild Card chase, which is a huge indicator in whether a team can make the playoffs of not. Their margin of making the playoffs is extremely slim now, and they're gonna have to rely on either the Blues finally collapsing, or the Wild to sputter for the rest of the season; while the Flames goaltenders continue to bail the team out by not giving up more than 2 goals in a game since the offense is too anemic to produce 3 goals a game.
It's not looking good, and it's that worst possible outcome for this season coming into fruition with the lost of their earliest draft pick. The only perk is that it's been great experience for Wolf and the rest of the young players that we hope to be here long term. But that fabeled #1C that can carry the franchise will continue to eluded us for yet another year. And this season is showing how desperately this team needs that asset. And the most realistic (and less costly) way to acquire one is by having a top 10 pick in the draft.
