DetroitYZ19 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 Has anyone figured out what how many points we need to clinch a playoff birth? Could we clinch with a win vs EDM on tues and a win vs CBJ on Thurs? Is that possible? Thanks in advance...LGRW!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjgj13 30 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 Nope, any combination of 3 Wings wins or Flames losses would guarantee a tie with the Flames. As far as tiebreakers are concerned, not sure after head to head record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as tiebreakers are concerned, not sure after head to head record. 3-3-1 is the worst record to maintain a playoff spot. Because of our OTLs being so high, we would have fewer wins giving Calgary the playoff spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 The most amount of points the Flames can finish with is 97 Points.... that would be winning the rest of the way out. Detroit needs at least 98 points because if we tie Calgary in points they take the tiebreaker because of wins.... so right now and SDavis has said 3 wins plus a point in an overtime loss or shootout loss would guarantee us the 8th seed... so I guess the magic number would be 98 points.... or 3-1/2 wins? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blueliner 69 Report post Posted March 29, 2010 The magic number is 7 points. A Wings win knocks off two points and a Flames loss knocks off two points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
