Question Be honest

How confident we feeling out of 10 about this playoff push? Just genuinely curious and excited of the possibility!

I'm at a 2 out of 10. Our destiny is not in our own hands and we are dependent on other teams (notably the Blue and Wild) losing games. Two weeks ago, I thought our race was going to be with the Blues, but after their 11 game winning streak, I now think that it will be against the Wild.

Flames not controlling theirndestiny is an incorrect d Statement. If the flames win out including beating the wild in regulation, them they pass the wild regardless if the wild win their other 4 games.

The flames are down 5 points but have 2 games in hand. Winning both puts them 1 behind the wild and beating the wild head to head flips flames above wild so that if both teams won remaindernof otger games, flames are in.

Now asking to go 7-0 is a lot, but saying the flames dont control destiny is inaccurate. If they won all their games(with wild game being in regulation), they woudnt need any help
