Did it look like they wanted to win the Florida game? Today was serious competition and they did the best they could with their inferior roster.

Goaltending and solid defensive structure keeping them in games. They have no chance against better competition when the opponent decides to show up.

Pass. He will never be forgiven for his piece of dog crap play in the Oilers series.

We should have jumped ship after the first 10 games this season.

I'm still having visions of an 8-way tie from the last wildcard spot to the 10th draft pick, sorted out by tiebreakers or all-in mud wrestling, whichever.

And someone on CP will insist that Conroy made the team finish with that exact number of points on purpose, and also rigged the tiebreakers so the Flames wouldn't be first or last out of the 8-team pileup.

Deadline - Go get an NHL calibre D man that can slot in at #2 or #6 or even #7

If making the playoffs is the goal they can’t rely on Miromanov or Solovyov and Barrie isn’t that guy anymore and hell Ras maybe isn’t even that guy

2-2-1 since the break. They need to beat Philly or things might go off the rails.

I think people are still angry about the last game. If this was the first game of the season nobody would be bellyaching.

Nobody is angry, we are being realistic.

What exactly is the point of making the playoffs, if we aren't going to have a chance to win a series? What is the point of losing a series 4-1.

We need to get some talent and a top 10 draft pick helps with that.

Playoff experience for our young players, especially Wolf. Not to mention weird things happen in the playoffs.

The lowest wild cards and 8th place teams have a 28% success rate. The only bad thing is to get a 11-16 pick.

That's not the success rate for the Flames.

This Flames team would be the least talented team to make the playoffs in years. Without Dustin Wolf, we would be talking about the lottery.

None of the Flames were on the team last time they faced it.

I've never seen a fan base not want their team to make the playoffs so badly.

It's quite funny to me.

I obviously understand the why to that argument, so no need to lecture me. Thanks.

Feel really bad for Wolf and Vladar. They're been amazing this trip and the team is letting them down bigtime
