Miracle on Ice 2010

That’s what it will take for the Flames to get into the 2010 Playoffs…

Breaking down the stretch drive now, it doesn’t look good.

CALGARY:

• 5 Road Games
• 3 Home Games
• 1 Game vs Sub .500 team (Minnesota)
• 1 Back-to-back (BOS & WAS)
• Most important game (ALL but especially AT Colorado)
• Teams to catch: DET; COL; NAS

DETROIT:

• 4 Road Games
• 4 Home Games
• Play Columbus 3 times; Edmonton once
• Most important games (2 vs. Nashville)
• 6pt lead on 9th place Calgary

COLORADO:

• 4 Road Games
• 4 Home Games
• 3 games vs. Non-Playoff teams (Cgy; Edm; Ana)
• Most important (vs. the Flames)
• 6pt lead on 9th place Calgary
• 2 x back-to-back games

NASHVILLE:

• 3 Road Games
• 3 Home Games
• 3 games vs Non-Playoff teams
• Most important (2 games vs. Detroit)
• 7pt lead on 9th place Calgary

The odds are against Calgary and I have a feeling that a lot of Babies will be born in and around Dec. 2010 and Jan. 2011 if the Flames miss the Playoffs… here’s hoping for a Miracle on Ice, the 2010 version!

Always a Pleasure
