If Minny can't make it into the playoffs with the numbers Backstrom pulled, then that's the rest of the team's fault, not Backstrom's; he did everything he could.

Luongo is a big reason why the Canucks made the playoffs. In the 28 games Luongo did not have a descision in, they were 12-14-3. The players didn't change. Burrows, Kesler, twins, and D were the same. Lines might have changed, but for the most part the team was the same before, during, and after Luongo's injury. While it is true, every player had some impact on the Nucks making the playoffs, don't kid yourself. The Nucks would not be in the playoffs if they had to rely on the backups they had in the 24 games that Lu was out for with the injury.

In the 13 games that Backstrom did not have any descion in, what was Minny's record? 3-9-1. So, yeah the team was very weak without Gaborik. But looking at his numbers, his winning% is lower than Lu, and his SV% and GAA was marginally better than Lu.

Although I agree with both posts, you have to remember Luongo wasn't playing all that great for his caliber for a period of time after he came back. He was letting in 1 softie per game. If I recall correctly, it wasn't until near the end of March was he playing solid again. Although the majority of the team was playing well anyway, so they still pulled in wins.

The Flamers look to be done for the season by the way they're playing. There D is horrible. The Hawks break into their zone effortlessly.

Come on, Hawks & Ducks end it tonight and maybe we get a game by Friday.

Hawks need 2 more goals to seal the deal.

GO DUCKS

btw perry just scored

that sharks/ducks game is sloppy
the whole series has been like that
both teams dont really make an effort either..
and if they do
its still sloppy

wings/hawks will destroy the winner of this

hawks should have this game... better not play sloppy in the third
