[foshizzle11]

Great OOT!! Wow. Come on, hold on Wings.

[Jbo]

Detroit wins in regulation!

[AC]

Sharks lose!

[MrMike]

Yeah Detroit!

[Scrambler]

Almost perfect tonight

Thanks Sabres
Thanks Wings
Thanks Sens!

[AC]

VAN reg. loss = +0.6
WPG shootout loss = +0.1
MIN reg. win = -2.1
LA reg. loss = +1.4
SJ reg. loss = +1.8

+1.8% odds! You won't often see 5 rivals play and end up improving your odds at the end of the night.

[MrMike]

And a half thanks to the Blues

[Roof-Daddy]

Thanks for nothing Blues and Preds (best two teams on the night too)

[MyFlamesFirst]

So Only Minnesota won, and Winnipeg got 1 point. Vancouvrer, LA, and San Jose all lost in regulation. I'm quite happy with that.

Pretty great OOT tonight for the Flames, although I think Minnesota and Winnipeg are the two teams we need to focus on the most in the battle for a playoff spot. Still, certainly can't complain.

Flames might have a better chance of getting in the playoffs by getting 3rd in the Pacific Division. The Central Division might end up with 5 of the 8 playoff spots.

Division is more important. Get to 3rd and what the teams in the Central do is irrelevant.

[Magnum PEI]

Might be difficult to get into the top 3 of the division unless Vancouver drops off. The way other teams are playing the flames probably have to go 13-8 just to get in the wild card.
Edit 10 games left against playoff teams.

[blender]

Every loss by a rival lowers the threshold for making the playoffs. I like the chances of the Flames at 94 points (12 more wins) more every day.

Make it 11 after tomorrow, boys!

[Knut]

Number of wins needed decreases to 11 or 12 if some of their loses are loser points.

[blender]

^ Yep.
Flames need to scrap out every possible point.

Like the Jets are doing, actually.

We have a good chance to catch the Jets. 2 games in hand and 4 points back.

It's so close that the Pacific Division could have 5 playoff teams.
