Wow, just following up around the league. Seems like a pretty eventful night last night. Pens coach Michel Therrien fired. Ovechkin scores a hat trick, leads NHL with 41 goals. 7 goals from #2 Parise/Carter.
I love following this guy and watching him succeed. Especially considering how much this guy was slagged in the Crosby vs. Ovechkin comparison era. During the time, it seemed like ppl just hated on him just because he is Russian, and Crosby is Canadian.

hehe...defintely a nice hit. Nice to see a captain step up and stand up for his guy getting hit. A great demonstration of leading by example.

I think at this point, the Canucks have to keep getting wins to keep themselves in the playoff race. As you can see, 5th and 9th place is just 2 points away, so winning every game and keeping ahead of 8th is paramount. Also, the Canucks have to be somewhat strategic about who they play against. You probably don't want to play against San Jose or Detroit in the first round (OK, well, with how we do, maybe the Red Wings might be OK) and get bumped off before you can make it into the 2nd round. | I don't think its out of the question at all.....sure unlikely, but those 2 Nucks-Flames games represent an 8 point swing.....win both in regulation and we're only 5 pts back, with 24 games over which to make it up.
Obviously those 2 games are crucial though.

I would love to see the Canucks win the NW but the reality is the Flames this season are a very good team (home and away) and I really don't see them going on a long losing streak.

i think OT is very likely
as long as luongo plays like kipper
and both of the top line(s) from both sides are shut out
it will be a game of hte defence
something the canucks should take pride in becuz the Dmen are rackin in pts
and a team to be considered a top tier team has scoring from EVERYWHERE
which is why, for MTL to add schneider, who is a WINNER and can play big minutes is critical for success

Well, pulled muscle is just bad conditioning...or maybe he's just getting old and falling apart.  | |

Having to face Detroit and San Jose one round after the other requires nothing short of a miracle run.

It is safer if we stay 5th or 6th place or division leader
but again, San Jose does not usually do well in playoff..<-- thats what i heard before

as for the Sharks, the last game was tight becuz the sharks were w/o Rob Blake.
Aside from this, the Sharks this year vs last year look and play a much different style of game. We will know when playoff time comes and thats about it.

Right now, we just need to keep up with the wins to even stay in the top 8, let alone pick a position. The losses to some questionable teams in January really bit us in the ass. If we even only won half of our games, we'd be in a whole different position.
Anyways, the Sharks are definitely a different team, and a force to be reckoned with. As to whether they'll choke in the playoffs, it remains to be seen. Remember, they've got a different coach this year so who knows how they'll handle the post season.
