5-3-2. Just a suggestion, but maybe an idea for the future poles is to guess how many points we get in the next 10 games as opposed to how many wins. Bettman points likely to increase the second half of the season.
 

5 Mins 4 Ftg

Good idea. I am old school and still think in wins and not in charity points, which is the lifeblood of the Calgary Flames.

Regulation losses to Vegas, Tampa and Columbus. OIlers can't go a ten game segment without losing to one absolutely bottom feeder.

These next 5 against Pacific teams will determine our fate this year.

Win all 5 we will make playoffs.
Win 4 we will make playoffs
Win 3 it’s a coin flip
Win 2 we are toast fire Woodcroft
Win 1 Fire Holland

Edmonton is the only team in the NHL to not have a 7 game winning streak since 2001-02. Seattle took 105 games to have their first.

Only one other team hasn't had a 7 game winning streak in the cap era. The Toronto Maple Leafs.

In the cap era there have been 199 7 game (or more) winning streaks, about 11-12 per year and teams have averaged 6 or more such streaks in this span. In recent seasons, the number teams to have 7 game (or more streaks) is into the high teens per year.

This is one of those stretches where the team should bear down and finally get one as there is an 8 game stretch where they should be favored in 7 of them (Vegas the non-favored as a road game back to back) as the other two games vs. playoff teams are teams on the second night and Edmonton is the home team. But we all know there's no chance they'll take advantage of it.

Win 0, HFOil burns down.
Need a Vancouver Stanley Cup loss burn down.

That is one messed up city. Lived there in 90's. Suppose to be a laid back city with all the pot they smoke. Coke and other hard crap took over and now its the wild west. They sure like to shoot each other

Probably 2.

The entire team should be sent to a sports psychologist, locked in the office and forgotten about.

This was my forecast as well, same games too.

I hope we’re both severely wrong.

Well I think I went 1-9 in the last one so...I'm going to just pick that we get destroyed, starting with tonight, then maybe the team will actually win some games. This is a must win game, so let's just pencil in the L.

That GIF reminds me of wild wild west and the buzz saw magnets. Probably about as likely to get Hep C doing that as you would in the 1800's too Lmao.

I voted 6, but we really need it to be more. 5 of these are games we should win easily (which are the games that scare me the most sometimes), and 3 of the others are against teams we are battling with for playoff spots. We already lost on of those though ffs.

It's time for this team to take control of their destiny. They need to win 7 or 8 of these 10 (which means 7 or 8 of the next 9 after blowing the lead to the Avalanche.

Four wins and out of a playoff spot by end of the month.

It hurts me to make such predictions.

Going with 7 - 3. The road trip coming up is a good chance to sort things out and start building up to the post- ASG turbo finish we need. ( Yes, I’m linking this to last season’s performance generally.)
Tonight’s game in LA is a chance to make a statement about not being down and out from the Avs loss. And to set the tone for the rest of the trip…looking for more jump to start games and intensive work away from the puck.
Now, I need to get my hand stitched from clutching the rosary too hard.
