NHL Weekend Showdown: Will Canada’s Playoff Hopes Spark a Holiday Crisis?
4. Calgary Flames: It feels weird to have the team that’s spent a lot of time dead last in the league only midway down the list, but I think that speaks to the difference between panic and despair. Flames fans should be well onto the acceptance phase of things by now, so the panic here might sound more like, “Wait, are they actually going to sell as hard as they need to, or will they talk themselves into some sort of half-hearted reload instead?”

3. Vancouver Canucks: They’re just not very good. Worse, they’re in danger of falling out of the playoff race completely. And if Vancouver fans think they’re sick of the Quinn Hughes discourse now, wait until this team is ten points out at the holiday break and facing a second half of treading water at best.
