The chasm on Club Sports has really increased between the top 10 and the bottom 4.

Winnipeg in 10th at 50%, then a big drop to Dallas at 3.5%

The good news for any team in the top 6 right now is you're only trying to put a spike in two teams.

Best targets are likely Winnipeg and one of San José, Minnesota or Nashville. The other 5 I just can't see as likely they miss.

My gut tells me Calgary, Minnesota and Nashville go down to the final weekend of the season and two get in.

I think you got to add San Jose to that list. They had a punishing schedule to start the season. I think the broadcaster said that for a long stretch they only got to practice 3 times. They are going to get a lot of home dates coming up and that means practice time.

If I had to bet on it I'd say San Jose and maybe Minnesota will make it in and 1-2 of Winnipeg, Calgary, or Vancouver will drop out.

Last time we were in the playoffs was against the Hawks... Only seems fitting we pick up where we left off!

I can't see San Jose missing the playoffs. I had Calgary on the outside, but Winnipeg making it.

I think it will come down to CGY, SJ, and DAL for the final two spots.

66% of the time when the Canucks or Flames go to the Stanley Cup Final they play each other in round 1.

Or you could say, 100% of the time when the flames and canucks meet in the first round, the winner goes to the final.

A Flames-Canucks series in the first round pretty much guarantees one of us is going to the Finals this year.

Lets see:

Vancouver 1981-82: defeated Calgary 3-0
Calgary 1985-86: did not play Vancouver
Calgary 1988-89: defeated Vancouver 4-3
Vancouver 1993-94: defeated Calgary 4-3
Calgary 2003-04: defeated Vancouver 4-3

Vancouver 2010-11: did not play Calgary
