This has all the hallmarks of a great game

For the Jets.

:fuckthatshit:

Lol we were pinned in our zone for pretty much most of the game at that point.

Pretty sure Vey got muscled off the puck by that kid

yeah, i had a bad feeling about the game up until all those goals. canucks generally suck in the 2nd period lol. if we can survive the second, generally we win.

i hope it goes OT before we win it, so that jets get a point and make it harder for LA to get a playoff spot.

I don't care about the Jets or Kings, just win the game

given how things went after all those people that kept saying it was good for the canucks to lose game 6 so they can win the cup on home ice....

NO! we will just take the 2 pts ourselves tonight and move on.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

hahahah YES!!! dual ENG's again

Another empty net LOL

Empty net specialist's

and still not guaranteed a playoff spot lol

edit: we made it to NHL's home page for once

It's gonna take at least 100 points for the team to clinch a playoff spot in the West.

That April 6th home game against the Kings will be HUGE.

I doubt it'll take 100 points (though I hope we hit 100 points, well within reach now). The Kings and the Flames would both have to go 7-2-0 to hit 100 points and the Jets would have to go 6-2-0 ... I can't see all 3 of them having that good of a record over the final stretch.

FWIW, Sportsclubstats.com has the projected cut line at 96 points. Personally, I think it'll be more like 97-98.

Looking at the stats, and comparing them to how terrible of a season RS and the rest of the fans would have you believe the season has been, it sure is interesting.

We are 5 games back of the league lead, but only 12th in the league. But there are 6 teams within 2 points of 1st. And for being middle of the road, after nearly 75 games, the Canucks have only lost 6 games more than the league leader. There is some real parity amongst the league now.

And look at the teams below us in the standings. LA and Boston, 2 teams you would consider to be elite level. SJ, another power house. Colorado took a shit after last year. Philly, and New Jersey are well below us too.

Either every other team in the league has had a bad year aswell, or the league is alot closer than it used to be, and fans are just expecting perfection every night.

The Canucks arent the best team in the league, but they maybe aren't as bad as it seems.

PS: how did the Coyotes manage to suck their way down worse than edmonton so fast.
