2021 Magic Number

[Goriders]

Did some math and I think its 14.

That’s a combo of Mtl wins or Cgy losses.

The number is smaller for Edm/Winn (11) and Toronto (8).

Montreal will have to fall sleep off a cliff somehow. Because there’s no way the Flames will be better than .500 down the stretch.

[Goriders]

Magic number at 12 now. Combo of flames losses or habs wins.

[Mr.Coffee]

I really don’t think we need a magic number to know Calgary will not make the playoffs.

[Moneyhands23]

The "magic number" for me is 32. 32 years since my team was awesome.

What's the magic number for the Flames to land into the bottom 3 in the league? That's a more interesting number we want to know...

3 gets you eklund I guess so that's not bad. I want #2, but I'm greedy.

I’ll add it next update. I think we’re on track for the bottom 5 at least.

In a 32 team league, that is par.

[Buzzard]

Except that for most of those years it was less than 32 teams, some years much less. We're wayyy over par now.

Going to take a chance here.

15 games left.

Magic number number is 13.

5 games against Montreal will decide it. Most of the other games are against ottawa and vancouver.

Stars will have to align. But Montreal does suck. So you never know.

[Goriders]

12 with 14 games left.

Have to essentially win all 5 against the habs.

[Hockey-and_stuff]

5-0 vs the Habs would drop us to what, a magic number of 2 with 9 to go? Assuming no 3 point games in there, and excluding other games of course.

[bigrangy]

I like to think of the 5 remaining games against the habs as basically a playoff series, except Montreal already is leading 2-0. Need to go 4-1 or 5-0 to win and move on.

12 with 9 to go if we win all 5.

Habs are a sham and have been all year. Flames could be heating up with the trade deadline out of the way and getting used to Sutter’s systems...there’s definitely a chance. An improbable chance, but not an immaterial chance.

[Goriders]

Magic number for montreal to eliminate the flames 12 (montreal wins/flames losses)

Magic number for flames to eliminate the habs 19 (flames wins/montreal losses)

13 games left.

I started to wonder, when was the last time the Flames squeaked into the playoffs in a last push? Can't think of a season like that.

I feel like usually the teams been at its worst in the last games of the season.
