Thought these graphs were interesting:
Flames have been up there with the top defensive teams in the league from a shots against perspective over the last 25 games, and offensively they are right in the middle of the pack..
Also interesting to see where the shots against are coming from:
This Year:
Last Year:
IMO doing a better job of keeping shots away from right in-front of the net too (probably not a surprise that the right side is a pain point with Wideman and Engelland spending 2/3 of the game out there on that side of the ice)
Plus we also know how good our special teams has been over the last 25.
Interesting to see how much the team has evolved this season under GG.

^^^ But Gulutzan doesn't talk to his players after the game, and Gaudreau isn't scoring as much = terrible coach worthy of being fired.

Yeah it is quite funny.
Defensively he has us playing like Claude Julien wants his team to play. Which is hilarious because that was the coach that everybody wanted us to fire GG for even though he's been here for 60 games.

Even with the fog it seems a little brighter today after the big win. Our current points per game still has us one point up on LA.
Current pt/g for the season is 1.07. When you take the results from Nov 15th it is 1.2. Here are the western conference standing since Nov 15th.
2nd in PP% and 2nd in PK% over that time frame.

I don't know about you all, but I have been having a lot of fun following the Flames this year. This last little stretch has beeen really entertaining.
Go Flames Go!

Flames are 7-2-1 in the last 10 games, gaining ground on or pulling ahead of every other Western Conference team except the Blackhawks. Heating up for the stretch drive.

This is a playoff team skewed by a really poor start under a new coach. While I still have issues with Gulutzan's approach and I feel like the team can be fragile, there is no question they are playing better defensively.
The best thing is that other teams have caught up in games played, yet Calgary is still in front.
Whether or not they make the playoffs remains to be seen, but it will be very close. Hearing some comments in some of the GDT, especially the Coyotes game, you would never know that the Flames were 7-2-1

Sucks that we let the rest of the division get away from us. Going to be a big battle for those last 2 spots.
We're at the point where one bad stretch kills the season. Hopefully it's LA and Winnipeg that have the bad stretches. I can't handle another stretch drive like the one in 2015. That was too intense.

First 21 Games: 8-12-1
Second 21 Games: 14-6-1
Last 19 Games: 9-8-2
Really bad for the first 21, really good for the second 21, and average for the last 19.
When you look at the last 40 games overall (which just happens to be since US thanksgiving), we have went 23-14-3, which is a .612 points percentage.
If they can replicate close to that pace over the last 21 we would go 12-8-1 for 25 more points, and would finish the season with 91 points - that probably gets us in the playoffs.
Just need to win these last three 7 game series.

Jeff Marek on Hockey Central at Noon today was stating that the Flames five man unit of Backlund-Frolik-Tkachuk, and Gio and Hamilton on the back end, is now proving to be an elite five man unit with possession stats that are now standing out around the league.
Was also suggesting that GG might start to get a few votes for the Jack Adams if this recent level of Flames play keeps up.

So much of it is going to come down to the 4 game series against LA. Pretty big bonus for us that the first 3 games are in Calgary. One of those games is a back to back for them (they play in EDM the night before). I really hope that last LA game is a nothing game.
Manage to win those 3 home games and it drops the magic number by 12 to 29. You are then looking any combination where Flames pick up points or LA fails to gain points in the teams collective 37 games (Flames 18, LA 19) and the Flames would clinch.

Flames schedule looking pretty good from here on out from a rest perspective. Only 1 game with 0 days rest facing an opponent (tonight), and five games where the flames are rested facing a team with 0 rest. Two of those are against LA

The big thing IMO is just making sure you split those divisional games.
We have 4 games against L.A., 2 against S.J, and 2 against Ana.
Go 4-4 in those games, and you have to go 8-5 in the remaining out of division games to get into the playoffs.
Should be doable.

This is the playoff positivity thread, not the jump off a bridge thread. Why not focus on how well the team has played after the 1st 20 games, or how good the special teams have been since they learned the system?
This is the 2nd highest percentage for making the playoffs all season. We are one good stretch from really cementing ourselves as a playoff team. A win tonight puts the Flames over 70% to make the playoffs. They have 6 games left against LA, Nashville, and St. Louis. Their destiny is within their own hands.
