I'd say it's likely that Van, Cal and Edm all end up with similar records against the rest of the division from here on out.  If the Canucks can dominate both Alberta teams they definitely have a good shot at the 4th seed

Doubtful.

 

If McDavid/Draisaitl get hot the Oilers will go on a run. Not really a matter of if but when they do again. They cold now but everyone knows they don't stay that way long.

 

Marky is good enough on his own to keep the Flames above .500. Should be interesting to see how they react to the coaching change.

 

Need to find a way to beat the Habs too.

 

We can't afford anymore regulation losses at this moment. Unless we go on a massive streak we likely won't make it. Counting on 3-4 teams above us to be stagnant with the star power they have and the changes with coaching staff they've made is wishful thinking at best.

It's going to come down to a three team race, most likely.  The team that wins the Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton triangle likely takes that 4th spot.

Which makes it fun watching the battle of Alberta after the Nux game.  

 

I'm torn, I hate both Alberta teams but when pushed, I hate the Oilers more (goes back to the 80's I suppose) so I kinda want Calgary to win.  On the other hand, Van has clawed back to level with Calgary points wise so I want Calgary to lose too.  Why can't they both lose?

Great beer, 4 lucky, 4 goals. ALSO... i hated Lucky, but when I played in the Sunday night league in Victoria, the post game brews were Lucky... it took me a few weeks to adjust to the beers and its been my goto ever since

FWIW I stopped drinking Nov 16th, I went 101 days (my goal was 100 days). The canucks are 3-2 since I returned to drinking. 

Keep up the good work.... cheers!!

Simple plan. Take Squinty McSquinterson out and play the canadiens hard. 

We don't have the balls to go after McDandelion.

 

Well maybe Sutter does if you ruffle his feathers.

Hopefully the top two teams keep beating everyone except us. And the teams we need to leapfrog don’t get many loser points.

Good point. Not going to argue against that.

 

But I wonder how Petey and Horvat would go as a combo. Would be an interesting experiment.

 

Having Petey with Sutter and Gauds could be good in terms of getting him away from the top pairing defenders. Line matching will be that much harder for the opposition.

 

Regardless if Petey returns Monday, got to try that 1st line from today for another game.

 

No better time to try the Horvat - Petey experiment than now, that is if Petey is ready to return.

Stars need to align the right way. Not saying I wouldn't like to see that happen but just tempering expectations.

 

I'd rather trade the UFA assets away we aren't re-signing and putting faith in the youth the rest of the way.

I’ll never let up on some of CDC finest for this...

 

You really thought Boeser for Dumba was a good idea eh 

My god, last year I started a thread that was literally about why do so many people want to trade Boeser. CDCers thought it might be locked. Faith, he is golden (not just his flow).

I'm going to have to stop watching the games. Missed the last two games and we won

Waiting for the boo brigade to say "we can't even tank right!"

What's going on?  Hoglander this year and Podz next season.  Canucks are spoiled and  Bettman is not happy.

Didn't you hear, Bettman is transferring our 1st round pick this year to Arizona because they don't have one

[bad alice french]

Is anyone else around here starting to want to see the Flames go down hard for the rest of the season?

Sutter talking so big. I'm over Tanev and Marky leaving. I want Treliving to lose.

I dunno why but they are my new hated team... second to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Oh God this feels good. Watching super soft perimeter dweller Mitch Marner almost singlehandedly give the game away.

Couple costly turnovers late then throws the puck into traffic with the goalie pulled.

i love it!!!

I was thinking that during the game. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t try Petey on Bo’s wing. Could bring out something we haven’t seen in either player before. Worth a shot for a game at least.

Toronto is a fun team to play against

By god I hope we win every remaining game against TOR. 

And MTL and WPG and OTT and CAL and EDM

 

Why stop with TOR ?

[bpow]

Good hustle from the whole team. Seemed like Jake had a few good battles against Mathews.  Anyone else notice this?

Safe to say we should never wear the retro reverse jerseys ever again 

And we should not start Holtby unless it is the 2nd half of back to back.
