Well I did say
exceed 100 points, but whatever.
Also, it only takes a few swing games to make all the difference. If they hold off and beat LA in regulation, or they hold off and beat the Oilers, it would only mean one more point, but it would make all the difference in the world with respect to sentiment.
Also, let's not lose site of the fact that the Flames only clawed their way to the happy side of the line after a 7-game winning streak. Let's see if they can remain there before we get all complacent,.
Anyway, this conversation has been had over and over, let's keep the thread on track.
