Remember when we chose to go to a Flames/Wild game with FoN and Codes and picked it because it'd be easiest to get tickets?


Watching Wild games can be awesome.

I was at that game. I got tickets from the Flames forum for free. Back in the day when they did giveaways.

I think Calgary has to go 6-1 (the loss can't be against Minny) and the Wild have to play .500 for us to pass them. Every additional loss they have gives us a small cushion.

Magic number is 4.5 I believe. Wild are doing their part in losing.

I hate that they normalized the magic number to be wins and not points.

So the expectation would be that both teams will lose their next game and win the game after. The Flames beating Vegas tonight and/or Minny losing to the Sharks would be a huge bonus.

Yeah, I think that's fair...

We lose to VGK
They lose to DAL
We beat SJS
They beat SJS
We beat ANA

Heading into the H2H game, we'd be looking at MIN with 91 and us with 88 and still with a game in hand.
Then if we beat them we're down by 1 point with a game in hand. But, the do have an easier sked than us after that facing the Ducks and Canucks, while we get the Sharks, Knights and Kings

Stealing even 1 point from Vegas tonight could be huge.

Flames have 2 games against Vegas. I think 1 point out of the 4 is the bare minimum. Win out the others. My guess is the Kings rest everyone they can on the last game.

Every past Flames season has told me that they'll win against Vegas, then due to bad luck and/or bad call(s) go 0-2 in California.

For the Kings it all depends if their position is locked in or not, if a win gives them home ice, they won't rest guys.

Eh, I think guys like Drew, Kopi and their goalie get sat regardless. Rather start on the road than lose one of them for the series in game 82.

we can only hope that it matters lol.

but the more I'm looking at skeds, the more I like our chances... we play Vegas the 2nd time in their 2nd last game and they only have 1 game against a playoff team left, so they could clinch the division by then

How great would it be if we take a point tonight beat the teams we should, then beat the Wild and then have Vegas and LA with nothing to play for and resting guys

That would be ideal. Flames just need to do their part and win.

 

[Anglesmith]

Somewhat unfortunately, the Pacific Division race has really tightened up, so for the time being Vegas and LA have plenty to play for.

But then on the other other hand, it's probably a huge debate whether teams prefer to play the Blues or another Pacific team in the first round.

I think Vegas taking the division is a foregone conclusion, the Oilers and Kings have fairly tough schedules, including 2 against each other, while the Knights schedule is pretty weak with us x2, Canucks x2, Seattle and Nashville

So... if Vegas is staring down at a concept of being able to help control the destiny of a "Wild Fire" first round playoffs...

Which is a worse match up to them if they expect to meet Dallas or Avs later on?

Avs top end talent is better, Dallas is deeper but playing meh hockey. I wouldnt want to play the Avs due to Mack/Makar factor.

playing meh hockey? they're 8-1-1 in their last 10 and catching up to the Jets

And they haven’t looked good. Were garbage today, garbage against Calgary. Avs aren’t playing much better actually.

Sorry, I meant if they could help control the destiny of a team, which team (Flames or Wild) would they rather play in the first round before facing Avs or Dallas. Would the Flames or Wild wear them down more?

We're on the verge of being unable to catch the Wild in the 1st tie breaker. Frankly it's an inevitability, as we'd have to win every game in regulation and them not win another game in regulation for us to avoid it. When this happens, the magic/tragic # will drop by 1 point/0.5 wins.
