However, it’s contributions from players like Mangiapane and even someone like Milan Lucic that have helped the Flames stay in the fight. Their only game against a team in that position is the Flames. So, now that everyone is below 10 games remaining, what does each team’s schedule look like the rest of the way? They have games against Nashville and Calgary, as well as one with the Sharks. The Jets haven’t been able to separate themselves from the pack after having a relatively solid lead over Calgary and Nashville, as their record in their last 10 games is 5-5-0. The Calgary Flames have made things interesting, coming within two points of the Winnipeg Jets, but the Nashville Predators are also close behind with two games in hand.

And he had to, because a team with a roster like this — older, not exactly overflowing with skill — the choice was either push all-in on a "win now" mode or slide into the kind of irrelevance the Flames faced in the early 2000s and mid-2010s.

I still have some real doubts about their ability to get in to the playoffs, but they’ve made it far more interesting than I thought they would, and part of that is the Jets have also made it far more interesting than I thought they would. It’s a back-to-back for the Flames, if they can take care of business against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday, and then they fly in to Winnipeg on Wednesday. This Wednesday, the Flames are in Winnipeg. Heck of a time for the Calgary Flames to find that little extra gear knowing that their backs are against the wall. To me it was the Flames in the sense that they showed they have a heartbeat. They showed they have a pulse.

The worry now, with only five games remaining, is whether it's all too little, too late.

We had period of the game where we were not very good and we had periods where we controlled a lot of the play. They absolutely have to beat the Jets on Wednesday. All season, it’s felt like the Flames were capable of getting hot and going on a nice streak, but it hasn’t happened until now. They’re still getting the puck deep and trying to create traffic in front. Watching the past two games, it’s been hard to identify what, if anything, the Flames have done differently. The one time in the third period where they got in our zone and I was out there, our zone was pretty fresh. One of those, on Wednesday, happens to be a head-to-head. They remain two points back of the Jets, who hold the Western Conference’s second wildcard spot, with five games to play. Winnipeg won, so we needed to do our part. Article content
