It really is incredible when you step back.
Blues are only here because of 12 wins in a row.
Wild are hanging on after being top 3 in the league 2 months ago.
Canucks a disaster this season.
Flames have had 4 goals called back in the last 2 weeks, 2 of them very dubious. Some improbable comeback wins, and with recency bias in full effect, dropped points vs Oilers, Canucks and especially the Anaheim debacle in the last 2 weeks, would've had them in a playoff spot now.
I expect no OOT help against teams already out. Sure they are playing for pride and jobs, and Minnesota and St L are squeezing their sticks more given the last two games for each of them, so completely different dynamics for both teams in these games.
It really is fascinating that after all this, in a perfect Flames world, they will know going into that 3rd period vs Vegas on Tuesday, if they can clinch the playoffs that game.
