To say the playoffs were unlikely before and unlikely now therefore basically the same, is quite disingenuous.

That doesn't knock their chances in half like you said...I mean if the Flames won in regulation tonight I would still be hoping for 4-0 not 3-0-1
Obviously a win is better, the math doesnt change much, other posters have said the same but you can disagree all you like we still live in a free country for now. They need Friday in regulation anyway.
So if they win Friday its now now 3-0 required rather than 2-0-1 had they pulled it off tonight
