MikeGillis58 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Canucks are currently 8 points behind the Ducks for the division title with one game in hand. In terms of wins, Ducks have 35 and Canucks have 33. If we can go on a run during the final month of the season, we could potentially catch Anaheim. What do you think?

NavyCanuck341 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 If we tear through this road trip there's a chance. Keep playing like they've been playing, and we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sure. Of course we can. Lots of hockey still to play. We are doing just fine in the ROW category too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo572 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 they also have to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 they also have to lose 3-6-1 in their last 10. We are gaining round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S.Strowbridge Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Anaheim is struggling at the moment, so if the Canucks and Anaheim play like they have in the past ten games for the rest of the season, the Canucks will overtake them. I'm not saying that will happen, but we have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I doubt it. We would have to go on a solid run of games and we've been pretty inconsistent as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 And without the late comeback win tonight, it would be all about tanking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 No way is Anaheim going to continue to lose... they have too good a team to go into a tailspin. I think there is zero chance of the Canucks catching them. OP has been putting too much whisky in his bowl of cornflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 They just lost their best RHD in Vatanen for a month as well as Beleskey so that will for sure hurt them. Can we catch them? If we stay/get hot, there's a chance for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robongo Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It definitely depends on how soon we get our top pairing back and even then it's a longshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FijianCanuck Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's a stretch as people have stated they need to lose a lot and us keep winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is zero chance of the Canucks catching them. OP has been putting too much whisky in his bowl of cornflakes. Let's not go nuts. Realistically, it's highly unlikely that we'll catch Anaheim, but to say that there's "zero chance" of it happening is even more asinine. It wouldn't be the strangest thing to ever happen.

drdeath Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't think we will but you always look up in the standings not down. Another win or two and a Ducks loss and we're closer to first in the division than out of the playoffs and that's a pretty desierable spot.

Master Mind Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Even with their injuries, it's doubtful that the Ducks give up the division lead. We should just worry about making the playoffs, trying to get home ice if possible, and most importantly, avoid a matchup with the Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sure can. You never know. With one game left against the Ducks this season 8 points isn't too unrealistic to overcome. 3 point games will likely be the determining factor if Anaheim even gets back to .500 hockey. Doesn't really matter who we play in the first round, but I would be uneasy against the Hawks or the Preds. 2 teams destined to do well this year. Hopefully a few 1st round upsets (including one in Vancouvers favour) will knock a few of the big guns out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
