Default QOTD: What team Cgy is chasing is most prone for a stumble?

Kings have finally lost. The Canucks have only 1 point in their last two.

Are the Flames finally getting some help?

A lot of talk about 97 points but what if one team completely collapses meaning the other four get it by default?

What team is the most likely to collapse and give a spot away?

Vancouver is the most likely to collapse. They have a rough road trip coming up.

@Blues
@Predators
@Blackhawks
@Jets
Kings
Coyotes
Oilers

It's not inconceivable the Canucks lose 4 or 5 of the next 5.

Unfortunately, I don't think any of them will collapse bad enough for the Flames to pass them.

Toss up between the Canucks and Jets, but I agree that Canucks have the tougher schedule. Although not by very much, looking at the Jets':

Blackhawks
Rangers
Canucks
@Wild
@Blue
@Avalanche
Flames

I'd suggest that the Jets schedule is more difficult than that of the Canucks by a small margin...though Calgary's is equally daunting which makes everything equal when all is said and done.

That schedule is strikingly similar to our own.

Voted Winnipeg simply because I think that is the only team the Flames can legitimately reel in

Jets are getting healthy. Perrault is back today, and Little likely misses at most one or two more games. Our play seems to be escalating too. I think LA is far more vulnerable. That could just be my homerism talking... I want a white out so bad in Winnipeg I'd probably make a deal with Satan. (and not Miroslav)

The Hawks have lost 2 in a row and go into Winnipeg to play a team that has dominated them all season.

It would be great to see them miss the playoffs as NHL.com still has them as the #4 in the league team in their super 16 link ...

or LA who are #3

Looking most likely to be the Canucks, if any, but man would I love to see LA collapse and the Flames passing them to keep them out of the playoffs. What a great story that would be!

Canucks are 4 points ahead so they would have to go on a four to five game slide and the Flames could only lose two of their remaining games to have a chance. It's still the Kings or possibly Jets but the Flames have to start winning as they have the worst record over the past 10 games which means they are the team falling off the pace.

A Vancouver/Calgary 1st round series would be great

Most likely I would say the Canucks. I think they have been the most average team. All they have done is keep pace, they havent had to climb like the Jets and the Kings.

Want\need is the Kings. While their loss last night was a big break, the only real reason they lost was because Minny is a great team, the Kings had them on the ropes for awhile. As a Flames fan that is worrisome, I don't think the Kings are slowing down.

The Hawks could collapse, but it's silly to think that they might enough to be caught by the Flames.
Simply not happening

Flames need to hope LA stumbles. That is the only team they are in a position to catch in my estimation.

In the perfect world, it should have been the Wild. But in the realistic world of hockey gods, not a single one will falter.

LA, points wise they are the most vulnerable. Could be a different answer tomorrow.
