No it doesn’t.

Yes, I would think so. Isn't the east already 8 and 8? West was 7 and 7 until LV arrived. Moving a team to the central, adding Seattle to the pacific, and we're 4 divisions of 8.

Ah yes. I'm stupid. Not sure what I was thinking there.

Am I drunk or are you?
There are currently 15 in the west and 16 in the east.

[fire_starter]

Man I feel sick.

[dino7c]

2 1 DlCKS

This is a rare game where literally either team winning in regulation improves the Flames playoff odds on Sportsclubstats.

+0.2% if ANA wins in regulation
+0.3% if LA wins in regulation

-0.6 to -0.8% for any 3 point game possibility.

Does that mean a kings reg win would have been better?

Probably not statistically significant.

[Insane_Flame]

Then if this ends with a ducks reg win I'll be happy to survive the break remaining in the top three.

[Insane_Flame]

Wild finish.

Game is over...all the doom and gloom about being out of the playoffs after the bye. Flames in 3rd with games in hand on both teams behind them

[CrazyCaper]

Ducks win. Kings sinking like the Titanic with their 6th straight loss.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

The fact the flames are still a top 3 pacific team considering they were on the break and the Sharks and kings all played multiple games this is pretty amazing.

Yep, Flames need to take advantage though

[Strange Brew]

It is all so very close. Flames tied for 2nd in the division but also one point out of 11th in the conference. Can’t afford to let up here. The win streak got them right in the thick of things but there’s still no separation.
