Flames race to the 2020 playoffs..

[Rubi]

The Flames got lucky last night after losing to the Bolts because the Panthers, Predators, Canucks, and Stars lost too. The Flames keep their WC1 spot. Hopefully they win today against the Panthers.. but who knows... could be a coin flip with the Flames lately.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

This team is so incredibly boring to watch this season. I'm not even mad that NHL Game Centre f***ed me over by blacking out most games. I'm gonna make a point to pirate and steal more Flames-related stuff as a result.

4 road games left.

If this team can't figure it out in front of their own fans, then they don't deserve to make the playoffs.

 

[Anglesmith]

Canucks with the epic choke. Coming from two goals ahead to lose by two.

 

[Boomstick]

CBJ just scored 4 goals in the final 10 to come back and beat the Nucks. Wow. That was awesome.

 

[Boomstick]

The last few pages on that Canucks game day post was worth reading. They're pissed lol.

That rollercoaster the flames are on, apparently the Canucks are on it too...lol

According to them, their coach of the year candidate a few weeks ago is now ready to be fired...lol

Every team in the Pacific Division not in California has been on it this season.

Watch Lucic go on a 5 game scoring streak at the end of the season, and end up scoring one goal too many that means we don't get the third rounder from the Oilers lol

The Canucks are hurting bad with Jacob Markstrom on the IR. Domingue and Demko just aren't in the same class.
Markstrom is likely to miss a month. This injury could very well kill the Canucks chances of making it into the playoffs.

I could still see the Canucks making it, but just barely. They'll need to score their way into it for most nights though.

The Flames get the Oilers 3rd round pick if James Neal scores 21 goals and Milan Lucic scores 10 or fewer goals than Neal in the 2019-20 season.
I'm more worried about Neal not making it to #21 than Lucic scoring too many to invalidate the agreement.

Canucksnation imploding lol. You really forget how composed this place is (except for me of course ) until you go to cp and other fan boards. Wow.

It would take a monumental choke job on our part to miss the ploffs at this point

Not really..we are basically in a tie with 6 teams for 5 spots....edm, van,arzn,win,Nash and min

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Yeah, it wouldn't even take a monumental choke job to miss the playoffs. Just as simple as not being able to keep pace and a team or two getting hot down the stretch.

Sports Club Stats has us at 45.5% making the playoffs as of yesterday's loss. With us winning and the Canucks losing, we might barely be at ~50%.

The thought that we are closer to being out of the playoffs than in the playoffs is pathetic.

Calgary is 1 point from being in 2nd in the Pacific and 4 points from being outside the playoffs. Many of you are more excited by the prospect of failure than you are of relative success.

I can't wait to see playoff hockey at the Dome... You can all cheer on the lottery draft pick we will never get while I enjoy every game.

Actually, today's great results increased our odds by 13.7%, up to 59.2%.

So, as of right now, it's more likely that we make the playoffs than miss. What a difference a day makes.

Who said anything about being closer to out than in?

It's pathetic to think we are not in the battle of a playoff spot. Do the math instead of drinking the Kool aid and think somehow you are a superior fan. Edmonton and Vancouver are slightly ahead. Calgary and Nashville are in a virtual tie slightly ahead of Winnipeg, Minnesota and Arizona.

Picture can change quickly with a couple wins or loss.....

Hello Lafreniere!

The West is trash however. Flames could continue their dumb .500 play and we could still make it to 3rd in the Pacific.

Lucic is now tied with Neal on the Flames all time scoring list with 7.

Worth every penny, those two...

 

[Iggys Dome]

A bunch of home games down the stretch, 11/15 at home. We have one of the worst home records in the NHL, only more wins than Chicago and Detroit...yikes
