Canucks cant clinch against Minnesota.

Minnesota could still technically catch up to us even if we beat them tomorrow, as unlikely as it is. If Canucks win tomorrow, and then lose every single game of the regular season, and the Wild win every game, both clubs will finish with 101 points, but Canucks will only have 46 wings in comparison to the Wilds 47 wins which would edge us out

also as it stands right now, Nashville could finish the season with 106 points and Anaheim could finish with 107 points if both clubs win every single game and Canucks lose every game.

You understand the OP's point. These teams play EACH OTHER, so the point potentials change due to only one of them being able to get 2 points. Not that difficult a concept. Lesser minds struggle with 2 dimensional theories like this one, leave them be.

Either way, the Nucks are in, that much is obvious, and anyone with an ounce of hockey sense knows they'll probably win the President's too. <br style="text-shadow: none;">

The other teams do play each other but even then we haven't clinched. There are three point games. See below.

There you go. We need two more wins to clinch, assuming the worst case scenario above.

I know. It's obvious from some of the posts, that they haven't read most of the replies. They just agree with the op without searching to see what has already been found out.

Why seriously talk about this again? Anybody still doubting we'll finish 1st in the Conference? At this stage of the season, with a 9 point lead over Detroit, it would take a major collapse for the Nucks to not win the West. And possibly the league.

Playoff spot? Get serious...

We actually need four.

There's a whole thread about what sportsclubstats says. On page two sportsclubstats is proved wrong.

Shootout wins don't count in tiebreakers. The ROW column is how many actual wins we have.

If the Canucks win against Minnesota, we will move up to 101 points making it impossible for Calgary ( 2nd in the northwest ) to catch up to us, thus we clinch our division. Calgary has 10 games remaining and they sit at 81 points, even if they do win all their games and move up to 101 points if we lose all of ours after the Minnesota game we still have the division clinched. This is because of the NHL's new rule "The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout (NEW for 2010-11). This figure is reflected in the ROW column." We have 41 games won in regulation and they'd have only 38 if they won the rest of their games. Beating Minnesota would eliminate their chance of catching up to us as well, so tomorrow we can clinch ! Just thought I'd let all you Canucks fans out there know.
