darth_henning Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Strange, but Calgary could end up in the playoffs tomorrow without even playing a game. If LA loses they lose their game in hand and we pass them in the tie breaker. Go Winnipeg I guess. That is...an unusual situation. GO JETS!!!!!!!!!!

phoenix66 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 That is...an unusual situation. GO JETS!!!!!!!!!! tough call.. the way LA has been playing i think we are realistically fighting WPG and MIN for that final spot, could almost be better to see WPG lose... just hope its a Reg win either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let them win this one (IN REGULATION PLEASE!) to keep it interesting. 1-0 Jets after 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_jones Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 WOO HOO! Jets beat the Kings 5-2. The Flames are back in a playoff position!! 12 of the Kings final 20 are on the road where they sport an unimpressive 9-14-6 record!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invin Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Gotta love moving into a playoff spot without even playing. Thankyou Winnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 You have to love when you gain in the standings despite not playing. Still a long way to go but it's starting to look like a top 3 in the Pacific Division is our ticket into the playoffs. Too bad the Nucks gained 2 pts. Toronto joined the other projected duds with virtually no chance to make the show. 23150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyromancer Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Rebuild vs a hit or miss playoff drive Quite the dilemma as going one way will likely affect the other. I am for virtually standing pat tomorrow unless a "too good to be true" deal swings our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_henning Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm ok if we move Bollig, Potter, Engellend and one pick or one average prospect for a D upgrade. But I can't see a situation where that happens. MAYBE Stajan if its a killer return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kehatch Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Barring a big deal I think the Flames stand pat. They got their depth guy on waivers and made the Glencross trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessemadnote39 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 So we've lost our MVP defenseman, 4 of our past 5 games, we weren't even playing tonight and some how we're back in the playoffs? Bad checking from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamespatriot Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 LOL the gods are with us. Now we need the boys to push harder then ever. Monahan, Johnny, and Brodie need to lead this team!! this is it people. If the players I listed can get hot, and remain hot for the rest of the season, then we're in. Easier said then done though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 My hopes took a worse dive than any team accomplished with their player dumps. We have players & can carry on for a bit but they lost their leader & heart + soul. We have nobody that is ready to take that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zirakzigil Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Even if the Flames squeeze into the playoffs, which I highly doubt now, they will get crushed without Gio by the Ducks. The playoffs are a dream at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 playoffs are going to tough no question but a couple of reasons why I don't think all hope is lost: -Flames are getting top level goaltending lately so they likely are going to stay in games - Out of 15 games this month, The Flames play only 6 teams currently in a playoff spot They are going to need several players (namely Backlund, Hudler,Monahan, Gaudreau, Brodie, Russel, and Wideman) to step up but I don't think they are a total write off and that's why I agree with standing pat today.

travel_dude Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 My hopes took a worse dive than any team accomplished with their player dumps. We have players & can carry on for a bit but they lost their leader & heart + soul. We have nobody that is ready to take that role. Russell is close to Gio in his compete level, but not as much as a warrior. It's time for the others to step up. Bring in Spoon and see if he can help. He was the backbone of the baby Flames and deserves a chance to show his value. If we sink or swim, it going to be on the backs of the guys that have got us here, and those we add to even out the team. Guys like Shore, Spoon, Ferland/Poirier will have to do their part. Scoring has been an issue in the last few games. We have to get that rolling again, so that Gio's loss has less impact. Our depth on D was our achiles heel, so now that we lost Gio, we have to make up for it in other ways. Spoon can help stabilize the D a bit. Ferland can replace Bollig (boat anchor), Poirier can replace Byron breakaway speed, and Shore can add a new dimension to our center depth. All is not lost. It's going to be a bumpy ride though.

conundrumed Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Backlund HAS to be the leadership guy. Here's his opportunity to really step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Of the remaining 20-games, I'm thinking the Flames go something like 9-9-2 giving them a total of 90-points to end the season. I think Giordano's injury will likely have cost the Flames around 4-points and ultimately the playoffs. It's too bad. It was a good run and they had me convinced they could make it but the Giordano injury is too critical to ignore. The next game without Giordano is going to be a statement game. Win, and optimism will run throughout the fan base. Lose, and the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win, and optimism will run throughout the fan base. Lose, and the season is over. I think you are close. The big factor will be how we are able to play in close games. If we manage to win a game when losing after the 2nd, the team will believe in itself. If they do, then they could make the playoffs. I think they will do everything to score early in games to ensure they have a better chance. I think we will finish with 14 wins and 2 OTL. I guess I am a bit of a homey.
