GDT: 2015 Playoff Race v2.0: the final 10 games [w/Magic Numbers]

[Wheels of Poirier]

Huge win by Edmonton

That means if the Jets win the next game, they are in the playoff.

Then even if the Flames lose to the Kings, the Jets have nothing to play for in the last game. The Flames win that they make the playoff.

The Flames are in good shape at the moment.

Damn-near the best outcome we could've hoped for tonight, really. I'd rather see the Jets in and L.A. out anyways..

I agree, Jets vs. Ducks would be beneficial to us. The Jets would bruise the Ducks pretty good.

Insane night tonight. That Calgary game looked spotty as hell at times.

I can't believe the Oil helping the Flames out. One more win this season and we're in (more or less). This is massive.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

So, 2 points from the last 2 games and we're in.

 

[Lunatik]

Our magic # is 1.

This means any 2 point swing (gained for us or lost for them) between us and the Kings will clinch a playoff spot.

 

[lawrence]

Please finish them off.

regards.

 

[Lunatik]

Please finish them off.

regards.

thanks larry

Have to imagine the Kings will be either a) completely deflated after losing to the Coil, or b) angry as all hell, and we had better brace ourselves for a bloodbath. I say we prepare for b) whilst hoping for a) LOL

 

[Jets1975]

Flames fan 4 a day Thur. Both our teams deserve to be in.

Next game is pretty much going to be like Gaudreau going on an epic quest to destroy Doughty's cup ring by throwing it into Mount Salt.

 

[TheHudlinator]

I can't believe the oil came through. Our game vs LA is going to awesome

Pizza party if we make the playoffs?

 

[Bouma Fett*]

Come on, everybody's doing it!

Agreed. Jets continue to impress.

So hypothetically, if we lose in OT to the kings and Winnipeg loses in OT/Shootout to the Avs, we're in?!?

GO FLAMES! Suck it Kings!

No the 2 point swing is only about us and LA. Winnipeg doesn't matter

for example if LA beats us in regulation and on the final day both Calgary and LA lose in OT, we make the playoffs.

 

[Tkachuky]

Need 2 points in the next 2 games. Could be 1 point per game or 2 points in a win and then loss.

2 fricking points. Unless of course we lose out and so does La (doubtful scenario)

 

[Foreignchizofmel]

So in order for LA to take our spot, they need to go 2-0 and us 0-2. I like our chances.

 

[Wheels of Poirier]

Was curious to know, and just discovered that only four teams in the modern era have missed the playoffs a year after winning the Stanley Cup, two of whom were the Devils in 1995/1996 and the 'Canes in 2006/2007.

I just know there is a 23 waiting to happen there, but I'm not ambitious enough right now to find it

 

[tmurfin]

Oh man, I'm not sure if I can handle Thursdays game... And I love it!!! Go Flames! I love this team!!

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Finish them off on Thursday and we can have a big party on Saturday!

and then we can face in the second round!

YAY!

Flames and Jets were widely predicted to be lottery teams.
