Here for Calgary Flames hockey banter
If they pick up 5-6 points in the standings, perhaps becoming a certified "buyer" would not be the ideal play, but playoff odds will be looking pretty good - potentially >70%.

If these few games against non-playoff teams do not go the #Flames' way and playoff odds are looking worse than they are now, the idea of adding at the deadline becomes even more obscene than it may already be.

CGY currently sits one point up on VAN with the same number of games played. Huge opportunity to widen the gap.

MoneyPuck currently has CGY with a 50.5% chance of making the playoffs and VAN at 40.2%, a significant shift from the ~60% and ~20% odds earlier this week.

IMO, depending on return, this is the type of trade Conroy should consider regardless of playoff odds. Build for the future no matter what. As a bonus: Cooley is available.

3 - DUEHER & PELLETIER

With Kirkland out, Klapka in the minors, and Kuzmenko in the dog house, Dueher and Pelletier need to take advantage of their opportunities with the big club.

If Pelts wants to be part of the Flames rebuild, now is the time to prove it. Actions speak louder than words.

2 - JUSTIN KIRKLAND

It's devastating to hear about the season-ending ACL injury for Kirkland. Not only has his story been incredible, he seems to be a great (and grateful) guy and he genuinely deserves to be a full-time NHLer.

Guy & Jane, thanks for coming. Your son was grinning down on the 'Dome last night.

Meredith is an exceptional human, as is Sean Monahan. Big love to the extended Gaudreau family and the C of Red.

1 - JOHNNY NIGHT

Last night was spectacular. As expected, the Flames did a phenomenal job honouring Johnny, Matt, and the entire Gaudreau family. I feel deeply for the Gaudreaus, but am so thankful we got to share Johnny Hockey with them.

I’d be complaining about that call for sure. Absolutely zero impact on the play, no precedent, and in OT. By the rulebook, maybe it was illegal, but 100% that call would rattle me if I was competing in the NHL.
