Flames in Tough Division

Just noticed from looking at the NHL Standings, that the Flames are in the toughest division by far. The Northwest div has four teams (Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, & Colorado) with more than 60 points. No other division has more than two. It would be amazing if all five teams (including Minnesota) make it into the playoffs. Just shows how having eight divisional games has affected the standings. Don't get me wrong, Detroit, Carolina & Nashville are good teams, but their records are inflated due to them being in weak divisions.
