Prior to puck-drop on the 2014-15 NHL season, the betting website Bodog had the Calgary Flames over-under point total at 71.5.
Only the Buffalo Sabres and Florida Panthers had a lower projected number.
The Flames reached 97 points and clinched a playoff spot for the first time in six years.
To no surprise, the Flames were underdogs when they kicked off the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Vancouver Canucks. That best-of-seven series concluded with a heck of a party on the Red Mile.
Against the Anaheim Ducks in the second round of the playoffs, the odds are longer than Deryk Engelland’s three-minute-22-second shift in the Game 6 clincher over the Canucks.
