Being ahead on the 1st tie-break ROW against most of our playoff competition gives me some comfort 94 would be likely adequate, but hopefully they can get to like 98 before LA the second to last game of the regular season or Winnipeg last game of the regular season. It might come down to a win the last game and you're in scenario, which makes me feel ill already thinking about it.

This is the best playoff thread so far. The snakes are awesome. Especially Edmonton's hahahahahaha.

Edmonton doesn't have a snake. Just a wet piece of spaghetti.

94 points might be enough. 95-96 positively gets you in.

I will take a bet that the 9th place team wins 10.

Only if the 9th place team is Colorado. If the LA does, they're in

If that happens, 9 wins would be enough to stay ahead of them (LA), assuming we retain the ROW tiebreaker.

If the Flames go 10-6 there is no doubt they are IN, 9 wins is almost a gurantee

Simplify it into points. If you think the Flames need more than 10 wins, I would gladly take a bet that the 9th place team finishes with lower than 96 points.

in any event 10 wins is 97 for the Flames and with the likely tie breaker...10-6 should be what they are aiming for just to be safe

You do realize that this has only happened once in NHL history right? Or correct me if I'm wrong....I only went back to like 1985, far before the loser point.

So after they win 10 games they should aim to lose the rest of them?

You're not wrong. Before that, the record for most points by a non-playoff team was set by the 1969-70 Habs, who were fifth in the East Division with 92 points. That was a special case. It was the last year in which all the Original Six teams were in the East Division, and all the expansion teams were in the West Division. Not a single team in the West had as good a record as Montreal that year.
Because of the weird circumstances, that record held up for many years.

The next most likely is 8-6-2, which has a 5.45% chance of happening, and still results in an 84.9% likelihood of playoffs.
They have us at a 43% likelihood at 3rd in the Pacific and a 28% likelihood at 2nd.
