It can be done.

That’s almost as good as Calgary’s last 12 games.

Why aren't you all talking about VGN game tonight?? Stop worrying about the Flames man.
Should be more concerned on how to keep Connor interested in staying, if things don't improve soon, and he want's to go to a contender. How much longer you think he will be satisfied with wasting his prime years there??
Awesome he joined some top company with his 3rd straight 100 point season, but when he keeps golfing every spring, while the real hockey starts being played, I can see him wanting OUT.. That would be my concern, not a team you Don't Care About.
Good luck against VGN tonight, they are a fun team to watch, very solid in all areas.

What’s going to be great is watching the flame burnout in the first round. They don’t have what it takes to advance. There’s no toughness and the sir goaltending is suspect. That little guy they have is going to take a beating in the only season that matters and turtle boy will be hiding where no one can see him.

Care to put a wager on it? I say they make the second round, you say they don't.
How much confidence you have your ability to forecast? What did you have forecast the Oilers to do this year?

If you are so sure and the Oilers only have a 5% chance of making it, here's a chance for you to make an easy $20. 10 to 1 odds (they are actually 20-1 right now).... Oilers are eliminated I will pay you $20, Oilers make it in and you pay me $200. And if I win I will re-bet $200 on the Flames vs Oilers in the 1st round if guys can hold onto 1st place.
How confident are you on your ability to forecast?

You do know that as of today you have a 5% chance of drawing the top draft pick and a 2.2% chance of making the playoffs.
In accordance with being a relatively good guy, I will give you the chance to back out of your proposed wager. Cause thats just crazy talk you speaking.
All you have to do in order to get out of this bet is put up the Flames Logo as your Avatar picture until they either win it all or get eliminated.
Simple

No, I am good with the bet, wouldn't have made it unless I was. And it would take a lot more than $20 to put Shames logo as my Avatar.

Alrighty then. It will make watching the Oilers games even that much more fun.
Once again, anyone else out there want a piece of this action?

Sports club stats says Oilers have a 2.2% chance of making the playoffs. Now, I am not a mathematician, but that seems like a pretty low chance. I would like you guys to keep that hope alive just so the game when Calgary plays you matters. Then we can put the final nail in the coffin.

If winner is:HomeHome OTHome SOAway SOAway OTAway
Sunday 100.0* Chance in playoffs
Vegas vs Edmonton +2.1
Minnesota vs NY Islanders +0.3
Dallas vs Vancouver +0.3
Colorado vs New Jersey +0.2
Buffalo vs St. Louis -0.0
Those are your important games and how they change in favour of the Oilers
If winner is:HomeHome OTHome SOAway SOAway OTAway
Sunday 100.0* Chance in playoffs
Vegas vs Edmonton -1.3
Minnesota vs NY Islanders -0.4
Dallas vs Vancouver -0.1
Colorado vs New Jersey -0.1
Buffalo vs St. Louis +0.1
Those are the same games in how they HURT the Oilers.
Basically if everything goes well and perfect for the Oilers tonight your percentage will rise to 5.1% (2.2 + 2.9)
If everything goes wrong for the Oil will fall to .3% of a chance. (2.2 - 1.9)
