I think so. Either that or his wonderlic score is super low.

Already counting the Oilers and Kings as an easy Kings win. Oilers will not do anything to help the Flames. Ever. And they've been playing awful, even for them. Kings are in beast mode and will slaughter them.

We must beat Arizona to keep pace.

I agree the Flames need to get the win but

5 wins in their last 10 is hardly beast mode

Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game, Thursday's game will still be massive and I don't know if I'll be able to handle it!

No where near as bad as it seems.

THis was LA's game in hand. Had they won it they would have passed us. But because we hold the tie breaker, we stay in front. Obviously a loss would have been even better, but this is still a great result for us.

As for Wpg, sure they won their game in hand. But tomorrow, we play ARI and the Kings play EDM while Wpg has to play StL. If the Blues can do us a favour (yeah, I know), we are right back in front of them too.

Oilers or Yotes could pull out a win, its the NHL stranger things have happened

Just beat the Coyotes and pray Edmonton manages to capture lightning in a bottle by winning a ####ing game again vs the Kings.

You should not be asking this! Wrath and ridicule coming your way!

[dino7c]

Jets could lose a game too before Saturday...could have 2 shots to clinch

really what more could you ask for? At the start of the year if you were given two home games...win both you are in would you have taken it? I sure as hell would have

[IntenseFan]

I just noticed that Sportsclub Stats has LA, Winnipeg and Calgary all well above 50% to make the playoffs. However, one of those teams MUST be out when all is said and done. I just decided not to look at that site for the next three games.

well mathematically the Wild or Canucks could also miss

Basically there were 2 different games we were worried about each with 6 possible outcomes (Home reg win, Home OT win, Home SO win, Away reg win, Away OT win, Away SO win). Meaning there were a total of 36 outcomes going into tonight that would directly impact the Flames chances of finishing ahead of these 3 teams, If you were to ask at the start of the night what is the worst case scenarios were.

#1/2, Win ROW win & LA OT Win
#3/4, Win ROW win & LA SO Win
#5, Win ROW win & Van SO Win


Meaning there were 31 options for how this night could have gone better.

It was only a little bit of help.

But as I said, a hell of a lot better than #1 or #2.

That said without a win yet in April the wild have slowly gotten pulled back into this race, they play Stl, Chi & Nas and need 3 points to clinch, far from a given.

at least 2 of them have to be in (so they should avg 67% based on that.

Plus there is a chance that MIN or VAN is the odd man out, so the 67% avg goes up from there

how bout this one

Lose to the Yotes!
Beat LA in regulation
Beat the Jets however
