Eight points is a lot to make up with so few games left. Calgary will have to lose quite a few games. How many do we have left with them as our opponents? That's about the only way you can make up ground. Unless, of course, they turn out to be 3 pointers like last time.

There's still about 2 months of season left. Too much time to think about the title. Let's focus on keeping in playoff position.

JSALES 02-19-2009 02:00 PM

i hope they win tonight!

I'm looking at it 3 games at a time. If they can keep winning at least 2/3 (like before Luongo got hurt) they'll be in a good spot come April and the rest will take care of itself.

What luck. By the time we get to Ottawa, their coach has been replaced and they've been piling up the wins. 5 games in the last 6.

I'd say we're offensively on par.
Their goaltending is spotty, but so has been Luongo
Our may edge may have to come from the D. We have 4 scoring D-men in Salo, Edler, Bieksa & Ohlund.

All I am hoping for is an interesting game. Nail biting, hard hitting, controversial, whatever....... good entertainment. It's awesome when Mitchell did that shit with the stick. I want my team, the Canucks, to be noticed and feared around the NHL. OK, maybe not feared, but respected as one of the premier teams in the NHL. Dream on, eh? The Canucks are probably a nobody team when we go to eastern rinks. Hard to tell what others around the NHL think of us. We can only see things from our POV.

I think the Eastern doesn't get much coverage about Western hockey. At least that's what I think... That's why they think they are the best, until they realize Western Conference is a lot tougher. lol

You know what I want to see? I wanna see how well Ovechkin and Crosby will do in the West.. I know Ovechkin can stand up for himself and still be great.... what about Crosby?Will he just cry after getting hit lol or jump the guy during a faceoff

Vansterdam 02-19-2009 02:40 PM

Durrann1984 02-19-2009 02:48 PM

I agree. Our games start when it's 10pm for them. By the time our game is over, they're most likely asleep. Plus, Toronto is the centre of the universe. Vancouver who?

CRS 02-19-2009 02:58 PM

Wow.. I won't be able to watch till like 3rd period.

That's lame.. Well, time to find a streaming one!

LsquareD 02-19-2009 03:02 PM

I'm going to miss the game again. I hate work :(

Go Nucks! 3-1 Nucks.

Vigneault isn't backing down. He expressed frustration with Wellwood again Thursday, this time telling the forward to his face how he felt during an on-ice "discussion" at practice between the pair.
godddaaayam.. AV wont quit lol

AsBannedAsItGets 02-19-2009 03:35 PM

wellwood has had so many chances. i don't blame alain for tearing him a new one if you know what i mean. thats what coaches get paid to do.. COACH and MOTIVATE players by any means necessary

Wasn't it just last year that we demolished everyone on our one Eastern road trip?

Bure was sure known throughout the league during his hey-day here, and Gino was definitely feared. The West Coast Express were pretty feared across the league in their day, too.

MG1 02-19-2009 03:50 PM

Holy bejeezus, the Canucks look good tonight. Confidence or what?
