We are watching meaningful hockey in mid-April regarding a team most people were expecting to finish well in the bottom 10...

...and there are still people pissing and moaning.

They sure did. They will be out in 4 though. That's not a very good team.

Flames should win the last 2 just to show that they're ####ing warriors and had it in them.

You can always count on the flames to give you enough hope to keep it entertaining and then finding new ways of dashing that hope every year.

I think the Blues have a shot at an upset, the Wild...no chance.

Actually I hope the ex Oilers players help the Blues go on a deep run. Just for Oilers fans reactions.

Not a great 2nd, they look so lost out there.

Time for another incredible 3rd period comeback I guess

I disagree with that. Wolf is quite frankly the only reason Flames games have been relevant for the past month. If it wasn't for him, then it would've exposed just how awful the makeup of the team is since they're statistically one of the worst offensively.

They got heart and effort for sure, but the lack of talent wouldn't have generated wins. I would be incline to agree with your point if their offensive stats were better. In that sense the importance of Wolf would be weighted less.

The Wild, like Winnipeg in 2023, are a waste of a playoff berth.

Flames beat both and were the better team down the stretch in both instances.

Who else deserved Playoff hockey?

Weegar absolutely.

Who else?

Kadri and Huberdeau and great years, but still couldn't carry the offense to the level necessary.

The point was that Wolf wasn't the only one who deserved to make the playoffs.
