As evident by my prediction in Pasty's "contest", i said they would (back then). However, i now will have to say, they're more or less DONE. They'd have to run the table AND have some help from those above them. Too many points to catch up to too many other teams with less games to play.
Done. |

Two losses ago my optimism began to wane. After the last loss to LA I truly realized the odds were stacked immensly against them.
With only 7 games left they would pretty much have to win at least 6 AND hope that two of the teams above them tanked (9th through 4th) That is not a pretty picture considering how many games the other teams have in hand. Not to mention how well each of those teams have been playing in the last 10 games - while Calgary has struggled in the last 10. And all those crazy 3 point games coming out of the West! Man oh man!!!
It's mathmatically possible but the chances are slim.
BUT I'm still hoping!!! |

tonight's loss might have been the final nail in the coffin...2 points out of a playoff spot, but both DAL and ANA have 3 games in hand. That is bordering on the impossible

Yeah, I really thought they would make it too . . . they aren't playing bad hockey out there. But the west is so tough in the middle.
It really looks like last night's game has stuck a fork in them.
Which probably means Iggy can stop trying so hard to score goals now . . . anytime now Iggy, you look tired! Have a rest!

The Flames playoff hopes are vanishing fast. They've been a real hot and cold team this season. In their last 7 games, they have only 1 win. Before that, they captured 11 out of 14 points.
I think they're done, and the Oilers might deal them a real death blow when the two teams meet on Saturday night. |

| i think they have one shot to make 7th place and one shot only. if the flames dont make the playoffs its due to a lackgood leadership and no im talking about iggy. we need all lines playing and each line should have someone to stand out and take charge. nobody wants that kind of responsibility and nobody has really earned it, we are stuck with great players waiting for the chance to prove themselves on and off the ice.yet we still lack wait for all the llines to click at once during any givin game. i am a true flames fan and i trust all the people in charge to bring us another cup. go flames go!!! |

Pretty big win last night against the very powerful Edmonton Oilers! Ok, so it wasn't pretty and the Oil aren't powerful, but it was big.
The Stars lost so that helps out, but unfortunately the Ducks won. Two out of three of my hockey wishes came true last night. |

Leigh, they're certainly not quitting! Bummer though that they have Dallas to deal with, not just the chase of Anaheim and Chicago!
Tell you this much, if Chi and Ana somehow managed to sh*t the bed and miss out and Dallas and Calgary got in, i'd be very happy!  |

that's not impossible Alex !
Dallas has quite an easy road for their last 3 games. A home-and-home with Colorado and a game against Minnesota ( which I will be at btw :D) Dallas has a chance ! Anaheim plays San Jose which will be a tough matchup and the blues are playing against Chicago tonight. All crucial points on the line. Edmonton is coming off two massive wins and have the momentum tonight. This game will make or break calgarys year and I am not giving up on my Stars just yet ! |

The Canucks play in Calgary on Saturday night. Imagine if it got to the point where a Calgary win would have them in? I wonder if Vancouver would "coast" so that they'd draw Calgary instead of Chicago or Anaheim. Lol, i am only kidding......
Semin, i did hear about Dallas' relatively "friendly" schedule to end the season! Good luck and enjoy the game you go to. Hopefully it's a meaningful game for your team!!! |

That's pretty pathetic! I was totally joking about the Canucks "coasting", but then again, what've they been doing lately?
Pretty sad thing to do at the high school level!  |

Wow, that is pathetic, That coach shouldn't step behind a bench again. What team do you play for Semin?
Back to Calgary, They are done like dinner. And another Blackhawks Canucks series looks to be on the way. I hope we can find a way to come out on top. Though Chitown isn't exactly the same team as the last 2 years.
CANUCKS RULE!!!

Well it was a good run by the Flames, and Iginla inspired play down the stretch was indeed impressive But with Anaheim up 6-1 right now, it looks like the Flames are 20 minutes away from being eliminated.
Perry with goals 48, 49, and 50 in that Ducks game! The Ducks are flying tonight, not the team i'd want to face in the first round if him one of the top seeds. |
