"teams like Chicago"...?? That sounds like a shot fired v Jonny Towes for a quote from years gone by...
It's not like we have a whole lot to brag about. But seriously, I agree, any team must win the games they're supposed to win and their share of the games against better teams.
Case in point, Calgary lost v Chicago and their next game was a victory against the team they were chasing, Winnipeg. The result? They're still out of the playoffs and behind the 8-ball with respect to the team their chasing. A win vs Chi-town and they're in the drivers seat. Couldn't happen to a nicer rival.
