[Game Takes] Flames 5 Habs 2

[Bingo]

Flames 5 Habs 2

- Wolf the story in a 5-2 win
- Kadri and Huberdeau keep producing
- Miromanov with his second in Calgary colours

Wolf is going to be fine. Outside of a couple of scrambles, which happens to most goalies,he plays a very calm game.
Posposil is a difference maker. I hope he is able to maintain his level of play moving forward, really good player

[The Cobra]

The expected score was 3-2 Montreal, but Calgary won the goaltender battle.

It’s funny how much bigger Wolf looks when he stops pucks as opposed to letting in goals.

He looked in complete control there.

That 4th line did not work at all with Greer, Rooney, and Coronato. If they can't find a place for Coronato higher in the lineup they should send him back to the Wranglers for now.

Coronato really needs to work on his skating, it seems at the NHL level he is always a step behind. Just my opinion though.

Before sending Coronato down, I'd love to see Pelletier Zary Coronato get a look.

Huberdeau Kadri Pospisil
Mangiapane Backlund Coleman
Hunt Sharangovich Kuzmenko
Pelletier Zary Coronato

Put the three skilled young guys together and see what they can do.

[Bingo]

Flames at 11% chance to make the playoffs after two wins.

Calgary needs to go 12-1-2 to catch Vegas at their current pace.

Calgary needs to go 5-9-1 to be worse that the current 10th ranked draft position.

Flames schedule has way to many easy games left to get back into the top 10 of the draft without some luck. 5 games against Hawks, Skarks and Ducks in 15. 4 more againts non playoff teams.

Sucks to be stuck in the middle, but I'd rather be stuck in the middle with this roster than our roster a few months ago.

Vegas is not going to keep the current pace but there are other teams chasing also

If the young guys step up then fine but it’s a waste winning because Backlund, Huberdeau and companies get hot when it doesn’t matter any more

It’s hard to understand these make the playoffs percentages.

I assume Vegas has about a 50% chance of being better than their current pace. And 50% chance of being worse.

So for Flames to beat that current pace and go 12-1-2? That doesn’t feel like 11%, that feels like about 1% really.

Yeah can't speak to their model.

Looking at moneypuck it's 8.4%.

1/10 chance seems high to me too.

Vegas started the season 11-0-1. Since then, over the last 66 games, they are 24-24-6

If we assume they continue at that pace, the Flames would need to go 10-3-2. Unlikely, but not as bad as 12-1-2

If VGS plays any worse than their .500 pace, the Flames' chances start to look a little more doable.

Under 10% for sure, but when you look at VGS' record since the hot start, it becomes a little more understandable.

But the problem with being behind three teams you need to catch is unlikeness of all of them going in the tank.

St. Louis and Minnesota are both on 90 point paces and one of the three teams will probably get to 93-94 which would mean the Flames need to play
.800 hockey.

Yes, but if the Flames play well enough to catch VGS, it likely means the other teams in the chase are irrelevant.

I think it more likely that you need 94 points
