Nervous as hell they're going to finish in 9th place, one point out. What a waste of 82 games. Mid mid mid. Guess we have the friends we made along the way.

Calgary Flames Official Thread
- Thread starter Surrealplaces
- Start date
You know it's not good when you're in mid-march and you still can't decide whether to root for them to win or lose.
Part of me would like to see them make the playoffs just for a bit excitement, that and it would mean the Canucks missing the playoffs. If they did make the playoffs, they'd probably be swept out the door quickly, with the only chance being Wolf potentially stealing a series.

I think we have a shot against a fragile Jets team. Jets are both Canada's best chance at a cup and also the Flames best chance to go to the second round. Both because they can be bad in the playoffs and they can be good.

Flames are still only 4 points out of finishing the bottom 10 in the league and keeping our 1st round pick this year. The situation in Vancouver is blowing my mind, they should be so much better than they are. St Louis has been on fire lately and will likely bump both teams.

Others say this so I cannot take the credit. It is about the teams between you, not the points. Flames have .556 points %, 23rd team (Boston) has .508. We're losing the pick.

Fair enough.
Flames - Canucks tonight, huge game for both teams!

Canucks lost last night to Montreal, Calgary is their second easiest travel but still a back to back. If Flames can get ahead early they can take the game into the mud and make a tired Canucks team work. Not sure I can trust the flames to score early but I can hope.
Anyone else yawning every time the NHL mentions Ovechkin closing ion on Gretzky's record?

The timing with the whole Gretzky/Trump and Ovechkin/Putin thing is interesting. Makes me pause and appreciate the accomplishment but not the man who is doing it.

All we need is an early goal or two, then Wolf to shut the door and grind 'em out the rest of the way. Canucks are very fragile right now, they can't score and injuries are killing them.
Hopefully the Canucks don't win both back to back, it could be the catalyst to get them going.

Even with the loss we kept the playoff spot. It is going to come right down to the wire... I wish I didn't pay attention to sports or politics sometimes. Would definitely live longer.

Avalanche tonight, going to be a tough one to get a win. Backlund is out for a week or two now as well, not ideal.
Flames and Canucks tied with 71 (though we get the spot due to less games played, and St Louise and Utah with 69 points, all 4 teams fighting for a single wildcard spot. Should make for some good hockey down the stretch!

Vancouver and St Louis passed us and Utah tied us. If we beat the Leafs tonight we will be in a playoff spot again lol.

On the other hand it isn't unrealistic if we only win two games between now and the end of the month.
