San Jose moving ahead may actually be a blessing in disguise. They may have to meet the St Louis Blues or even more likely, the Blackhwaks who will be extremely hot if they get in. I’m not sure I’d want the Flames to play them as an 8th seed with their newly revamped 2nd line featuring Dylan Strome and Alex Debrincat.

Suddenly they have a lot of offensive firepower whereas the Knights do it more by committee which might be easier to contain.

The Flames have matched up well against the Blackhawks for a long time now; better, I think, than they do against the Blues.

But the Flames still have two games in hand on SJ, and after this road trip things get a lot easier. It’s very premature to be settling on this idea of the Sharks moving ahead. In the end, it won’t matter a lot—Calgary can beat anyone.

True that it’s premature, but this still a message board filled with speculation and hypotheticals.

I know we’ve played well against the Hawks for while. But, the last game between both teams was very competitive. They’re getting solid goaltending for Delia right now and their forwards are torching teams right now. If they do get into the playoffs, it means they’ll have played an outstanding last half of the season and could be a sneaky dangerous team.

I’m not saying the Flames will be in trouble in a series against them. But they’d be playing with found money and nothing to lose which scares me. My main point is, I don’t think I’m against the idea of playing Vegas as much as I was before now that the Blues and the Blackhawks have entered the playoff conversation.

Flames have at least won in St. Louis & Chicago. I'd hate to see them enter the playoffs matched up against Vegas without a win there to their credit. Here's hoping they can cross that off the list before the playoffs begin regardless.

No one is conceding the division here. But San Jose has chipped away at a pretty significant lead here, so I think the possibility of discussion has opened up.

The question I’m more or less asking is, with the Blues and Hawks in the playoff picture now, are we still confident that we absolutely want to finish 1st in the division? The answer logically is Yes, but for me, i don’t think it’s as resounding as it once was when I thought it’d be a Colorado, Vancouver, Arizona or etc.

I like the idea of going up against Minnesota, but without Koivu and Dumba for final drive, it’s looking tough. My guess is, the wild card teams will be some combination between the Blues, Stars, Hawks and the Wild.

I think your right about the wildcard race, but the logical answer is still "yes" regardless of who gets in. The value in winning the Division for me is not so much about the first round matchup—I expect the Flames to win that one regardless of whomever they play. The value is what happens in round two and beyond.

I agree. I think Vegas would be a tough match-up as they have something to prove. They have been there, tasted it, and will be ready once the playoffs start. At least with St Louis, Chicago the Flames can match-up with some swagger!

since Vegas got back Schmidt (#1D) after 20 games they are 23-12-3.


They are currently in their worst slump of the year 3-7-0

Taking away the Flames first 20 games they are 23-8-5.

Very important that the Flames finish first in the Pacific to avoid a first round match up with the Knights and MAF.

MAF against BSD.... who would be the favorite in that match up?

I think Calgary has more game breakers, but MAF is such a huge X factor. That is why it is key to win the PAC. That first round match up with the 2 and 3 seed will be a doozy.

They said all the right things about not sucking after vacation but for the second straight year they get 4 out of a possible 12pts in the first 6 games after the break. I have a feeling it will all come to a head again on Saturday where the Pens blow the team out. I then predict Treliving will make a deal after that and the team will respond with a strong honest and and regain confidence.

Here are the updates for this week.
In regards to the 7 game segment, 8th one was our worst of the year. So far a decent rebound with the 9th.



The magic numbers moved a decent amount all things considered. Considering only the Pacific teams have the ability to knock us out of the playoffs, we are probably looking at 2 or 3 weeks before we clinch.

I can't believe the Flames are on pace for 110 points but only have a one point lead in the division.

#### you sharks and screw Doug Wilson for being so good at his job.

The Lightning won't be on the list tomorrow as they're simply running away with the lead, no team's catching them. The Blues have joined the party by winning 11 straight games!

Crazy that Tampa will probably hit 100 points by the trade deadline. I think it is equally as crazy that after their start, STL has a shot at home ice for the playoffs and potentially 1st in the Central.

Big game tonight using our game in hand. Need to keep setting the pace to put pressure on SJ.
