Tough loss but win 3 of our next 4, which should be doable, and we are pretty much in. Don't leave it close for the last 2 to end the season, which are against the Knights.
It’s getting super warm up in here
Honestly, winning 50% of the last 8 games to make it mathematically impossible for Calgary to beat us should be within the realm of possibility. Especially as we still have 5 games against lottery teams. We lost the first of the final 8 by a razor thin margin, but win 4 of the next 5 and we force Nashville to go perfect down the stretch.Well, gotta take care of business.
Like said before in here, if we can't come up with the points needed during those final seven games we just got no business making the playoffs.
I can't see too many Flames losses. Tomorrow is the best shot or if Vancouver are motivated to be spoilers.2 more wins and 2 points dropped by flames either 1 loss or 2 OT/SO losses and we clinch.
Or 1 more win and 2 games lost by flames and we clinch.
Practicing but has a no contact shirt on. I think he'll be back for the play offs or if shit hits the fan before then. and we need to throw the diceANY word on Burakovsky?? Some lower body injury! Too late now for him to come back now I guess, at least for 1st round.
Thanks! If he is actually skating and practicing that is really good news, even if it just means he would be available if we have an injury.Practicing but has a no contact shirt on. I think he'll be back for the play offs or if shit hits the fan before then. and we need to throw the dice
That first part didn't age well. 2nd part did.I can't see Calgary lose their next 2...they are probably due a loss though.

I hope we clinch on Thursday and can get players healed up and rested. I doubt our seeding changes too much. Unlikely to catch the teams above us and I doubt we drop a place.
I'm not particularly arsed about who we get in the play offs if it's a Pacific team. I don't have much expectation other than being happy to make it in year 2 and enjoy the experience with pressure relatively off. On our game we can beat any team in our division, especially healthy, will be interesting to see how they do in a play off series. The depth is there, If goaltending can somehow get hot in the post season we could be dangerous. Even though we are not great at home I think the crowd will show up big. I'm pretty much in 'f*** around and find out' mode for the play offs'.
We will clinch on Thursday with a win. If so, Calgary can't catch them and Nashville can only tie Kraken but Kraken have the tiebreaker with RW & ROWs.Nashville and the Kraken each have five games to go. If the Kraken win one game or the Preds lose one game, we can't be caught by the Preds. Calgary has four games left and we have five games left, if the Flames lose one game or we win one game, we can't be caught by the Flames.
Assuming that I have that right, I kind of like are chances, eh.
Correct.We will clinch on Thursday with a win. If so, Calgary can't catch them and Nashville can only tie Kraken but Kraken have the tiebreaker with RW & ROWs.
Arizona absolutely suck away from home. They'll likely get their revenge at the home game (where they have a pretty good record) when we've clinched if they do at all.Things are looking up! Arizona will want revenge for the last game, but I'm betting Seattle is up to the task. Arizona isn't prepared for a playoff team.
I'm not even that worried about Colorado. We have a pretty good record against them too. Think we beat them twice (once in OT) and lost to them once in OT. They are likely improved since then but who knows what we'll be like in the play offs.Unless we drop to the #2 Wild Card spot we'll be playing the winner of the central division.
Right now that looks like the current stanley cup champn who's starting to click and is getting players back from injury...

I don't have much expectations but I also wouldn't be astounded if we caused an unexpected upset. No one really talks about the Kraken in the main board. We've slowed down a bit but we were a team who was doing really well at the all star break and went on that great east coast run against the leagues best.Colorado was missing players left and right in those games and seem to be getting close to full strength.
Even Landeskog might be back for them.
I honestly don't care caues I just want to see the team in the playoffs and go from there.
We've got nothing to lose and have been told we can't do things the whole season anyways...
