That is the bad news. The good news is that the bubble is huge. They need only 2 more wins than losses to move up 5 spots in the west.
The next 6 games are
In Vegas today
The Avs at home
At St.L
At Philly
at Pitts
at Buff
There are 6 games in a row where they will not be favored to win.
The Flames go 2-4 and it will be close to panic time.
3-3 will keep them at the bottom of the bubble.
The hole is deep enough.
what a great time to go on a bit of a run.

Yeah no
The Flames have had the hardest schedule in the Western Conference, and 4th overall to date, and are a game over .500 despite not playing all that well, and literally having a no show from their top line.
I've said it before, I like this struggle. I'd be annoyed/worried if they had a hot start to the season and were able to just ignore what happened in the playoffs last year.
