Wow, so tired of people saying Flames snuck in or they are not good. You don't sneak in over 82 game schedule. 82 games!!! Good enough to make the playoffs. Are they as good as the Ducks? Hell no ! Neither are the Red Wings, Sens, Pens, Isles, Preds. Did they sneak in...of course not.
The pens got in by the skin of their teeth...so yeah I'd say they snuck in.
