Sure we are still in the middle of the Flames break, but that does mean it is after the all star break and the dog days of the season are behind us.

Here are the 7 game segments so far this season. Flames just need to keep on keeping on. If they finish the season just by collecting the 8 points per segment then after the 11th segment they would be sitting at 99 points with 5 games to play.

Here are some of the magic numbers for the Flames against the Pacific teams.

We do have the ROW on teams and that isn't calculated here. So if that is still the case near the end than it would account for a point or half a game depending on the number you are using.

For the Pacific division the Flames and SJ have 61 game events remaining. Flames need 27.5 to go their way (Flames win or SJ loss) to clinch. The Flames very much control their own destiny there. Flames currently have a points % of 69.9% (collecting 71 out of 102 points). If that number dropped to 60% the remainder of the season than SJ would probably only be allowed to lose 8 games the rest of the way.

For our friends from the north, there are 63 game events remaining between them and only a third need to go the Flames way before they officially become a fixture in the rear-view mirror. With 27 of those 63 games coming before the end of February, probably means it will be the very early days of March when Spector starts crying into his beer...again.
