Not exactly. 6 teams have 57 points but the Flames and Leafs have games in hand on the rest. 1 game in hand on WPG, 2 on EDM and BUF and 4 on CBJ who still has the worst point percentage of the bunch.

But yeah. The race for better lottery percentages seems to be quite an interesting one unlike most years. Oilers just got McDavid back. BUF got Lehner back. TOR has Babcock. MTL is dropping like a rock. WPG may or may not trade 2 of their best players. CGY likely to be sellers and is struggling. Bottom 5 is about as hard to predict as the playoff races.

Stupid tiebreaker.

They have the fewest number of points in the league, so in my mind, they're last. Yeah, yeah, points percentage. Who cares? See post 61.

I am disappointed they couldn't beat the Jackets. Truth be told though, the Jackets played a smart defensive game. Their goalie was good but once again, little to no net front presence by the Flames. That is six games in a row the Jackets have beat the Flames in Calgary. Oh well, on to tomorrow.

My thoughts on being in a 6-way tie for 30th in overall points...


Also, NHL 2002 nostalgia.

That game was the bomb. 20x more exciting than the Flames.

"And I wanna know, have I gone too far? Have I sunk to a brand new low?"

There was some Sum 41 in there too, iirc.

We ain't gonna shock the world. We ain't gonna do the near impossible.
Sell off Huds and maybe Russell and just embrace the top 3 pick and love it.

Would 24 + 4 + land a late first? Maybe?

Also, Ducks Coyotes looks like it's going to be a 3 pointer. Excellent.

Even if we were dead last in the league this "embrace the tank" talk is loser garbage. There's a team a few hours north that you can support if that's your thing.

I thought it was a good game. Flames don't score because there's not enough high end talent up front.

I mean, you lose a game where the opposition only got two goals!?!

That is 100% your opinion, and I am 100% entitled to have mine.

Sometimes, you just need to accept that a team isn't going anywhere, and that its best-case scenario is to improve.

Cheering for a high pick in the draft is like cheering for a trade at the deadline. It's perfectly ok.

Seriously, what's wrong with people on CP these days?

Matthews points yay?

Embrace sucking?

Some posters on here are laughable.

Did you enjoy the 2010-11 season? I sure didn't.

Meh.

I want the Flames to win, but this team isn't ready to win yet.

If they aren't going to go on a run and make the playoffs, like it or not, the next best option is for them is to lose and add another young stud player to the already strong young core.

I don't like losing, but I'm not going to freak out about it given this teams situation.

They didn't get a powerplay until 14 mins left in the third period.

Refs didn't call much, and that type of game hurts the Flames. Even with half decent special teams they'd be in the hunt.
