The Flames have such an uphill climb but if they get in they will be on a heater and will be a lot more battle ready than the Leafs who are waiting a week reading about how they are guaranteed to win the first round.
Flames are 5th in expected goals for in the last 25 games, and 4th in the last 10. Canadiens are 22nd in the last 10. One team is getting hot and one team is cooling off.

The tough part is that even the worst team will beat the best team 30% of the time. The Flames can keep playing well as that's within their control, but they'll need a significant amount of luck still

The habs are the worst team in the north right now. The flames will probably run out of runway though.

Losing that last mtl game was a killer.

Although they have blown a ton of other games this season

Canadiens may have the tougher schedule, but they’re mainly playing against teams whose playoff situation is settled - teams that will probably rest their stars and play their prospects. So the opposition may not be as tough as we’d expect.

Would anyone be shocked if the Jets went 1-5?

With the way Hellebuyck has played, nope.

Just need one of them to crap the bed.

Still think Montreal goes .500 or less, which leaves the door a crack open.

Warming up? More like she's been singing for a month now and her vocal cords need a serious rest!

IDK 2 or 3 more wins and it would be likely IMO

That Vancouver series was setup for the Flames to bag 6-8 points...now it probably won't even happen

I just wish they would win the last 6 in a row even if they don't make the playoffs just so that we could debate all summer if a record of 28-25-3 is ,500 hockey!

Flames magic number 2
Habs/Jets magic number 10

6 games left. Not looking good. Probably a better chance of catching the Jets at this point.

So...Jets loss to Flames tomorrow, then they can only win one against 8th Ott, 10th Van, 11th Van, 14th Tor.

Habs sched: 5th@Ott, 6th@Tor, 8th@Tor, 10th Edm, 12th Edm

Will we have to play out our games against the Canucks regardless of what happens or the importance of the games?

That was being debated on the FAN yesterday. They certainly will be playing in at least 2 of those games but the last 2 make no sense as they would likely be played when the other divisions have started playoffs so not sure it makes sense to play those games.


It would be all kinds of crazy to see the Jets lose 11 of 12 to miss the playoffs. I just don’t see it I think the Flames are eliminated tonight

And It'll probably be one of the games against the Oilers when they're losing in the last 10 minutes but ####ty Smitty decides to make an appearance.
