bosn111 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 With how close the standings are between Calgary, LA and Winnipeg right now, it may very well come down to the final 2 games of the season for the Flames... LA and Winnipeg. Exciting time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstrike Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 3 points up on LA now! Where are all the naysayers now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheersMan Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 11 of 12 segments complete. We have lost only one segment all year. One 5 game segment to go and we have points in the bank. Go Flames!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invin Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Another great night! Just need a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_henning Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Realistically we probably need 4 of our last 5. Likely that los comes against St. Louis so we have to win out after that. We can do it, but we have to keep an eye on the kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob1974 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Let's hope the kings keep losing. Having a bit of a cushion helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Flames win...Kinks lose...Nucks win. Oh well...2 out of 3 ain't bad. I added my chart version of the Wild Card race. The 2nd Wild Card is definitely in play now! 37892 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC923 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I disagree that we need 4 of 5. 3 of 5 gets us to the 97 point marker. To beat that, La needs 5 of 6 and Winnipeg needs 4 of 6. Given their schedules, so long as don't lose both games against them and pick up wins against Arizona and Edmonton we should be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Keep in mind we only need a combo of Flames wins and LA losses to equal 5. 6 for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tachaudh Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The game against the Oilers and Coyotes will not be easy. It's a mistake to consider them gimmes. The results of those games will reflect greatly on the coaching of this team for the need to prepare mentally against clubs that have absolutely nothing to lose. Keep in mind that those teams have been in the dumpster all year long and probably have their legs. Conversely the Flames are coming to the end of a regular season that has been absolutely grueling.

tmac70 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I agree the games against Edm and ARZ shouldn't be taken lightly. EDM has been playing better. Need to tread lightly with that game, It would be great to be assured a playoff spot before we meet, LA or Winn. Winning solves everything.

s4xon Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Oh, I can't wait for the days where our cup contending team can have a pretty "X" beside our team name in the standings. A time where we don't have to scoreboard watch in hopes for the post season. A time where we are so utterly cocky that we "just know" that we are a playoff team. It's coming soon.

kehatch Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 A win against St Louis would almost assure us if a playoff spot. They seem to have our number. Time to dig deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob1974 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 That is if we win the other games. We can't look past any team. It's one game at a time here. I hope we don't become cocky fans as it's the reason I can't stand Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL has been playing like crap recently. I hope they keep up the good work. EDM and ARI are must win games like every other game at this time of the year. We need to cntinue domination of the Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDM and ARI are must win games like every other game at this time of the year. We need to cntinue domination of the Pacific. Seems like STL hasn't won a game since beating the Flames a week or so ago. They've lost to all the teams we needed them to help us beat. Kind of like Rene Bourque scores the game winner against the Flames one game before getting a season ending injury. Perfect timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zima Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Looks like some one knew it would be a race for the final spot against LA. LA has 1 tuff game and the rest are out of playoff spot perhaps SJ might give them some trouble but saying that we are looking at some real tuff games LA Jets ST L basically three very strong teams to LA,S 1 as in VAN and us the rest should be a walk in the park for them.

CRAP There are no easy games for anyone this time of year. Quick gets rattled a bit too easily right now for them to be 100% confident in beating EDM and COL. The Oilers can score, and COL has been known to humble may a team; nobody has told them their season is over, and when they find out they will make somebody pay. The advantage always goes to the team in a playoff spot, as the other team has the pressure to win any games-in-hand. A loss to COL, EDM or VAN makes their propsects of making the playoffs that much further out of reach. In fact, a loss to EDM will completely demoralize them, as they have creamed EDM all season. Two critical games for LA are the B2B games of @VAN and @EDM. That could eliminate them basically right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420since1974 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Calgary simply must come out hard against the Oilers in the first period. They still love beating us whenever possible, and are now playing decently once they get a lead. I don't see ANY easy games for Calgary until next season. Every game must be treated as a must win play-off game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_henning Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Even if the games aren't mathematically "must wins", we should be treating them as such till the end of the season. I think we can win every one except St. Louis. The first goal has to be to beat LA to get in. But the second goal should be to get home ice to play the Nucks.

Flamespatriot Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I want the flames to come out of the gate aggressive as heck when they play the blues. I am sick and tired of seeing the flames take a beating for 40 minutes, and then cough up a win. If they can gather some momentum in the first period, and play well in the second, then we can beat the blues. Keep in mind the blues will be playing desperately as well. They want to get out of their slump. Flames need to be playing desperately from now until Stanley cup finals ( if they make it that far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstrike Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 What works against LA is they are the defending champs, so EVERYONE wants to beat them. It's easy to get amped up to play them. Edmonton has nothing to lose so they might as well throw everything including the kitchen sink at LA. It would prove to themselves that they can be a good team next year if the beat the defending champs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_henning Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 The Rangers just ate Winnipeg's game in hand. Officially 1 point up on them. Sadly Van and Nash are deciding it in a shootout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least NSH managed to tie it up and get it to the shootout. A non-ROW looks better than a ROW, don't you think. It does put them 4 up on us, however.
