If the season finished today the canucks would be matched up with Minny in the 1st round. Do the nucks win that series? Minny's stacked. I think it would go seven.

Canucks are a very difficult team to get a read on, especially with the shortened season. We're going to have so much more strength up the middle than we've dressed for the majority of the season. I think Minny would be tough, low scoring, goaltending, PP, bounces make the difference IMO. Could go 7, or 5 if we get the bounces.

Too bad Colorado is leaving. We could have number 1 and 2 in the same division.

I'm glad they are leaving ... They will be good if they get a few more promising pieces , give them a few years

Do you get to see many titas on the red mile these days?

What a hero you are. I'm glad you got Kass to be the tough guy
- FlamesFan12

Rather have that tough guy than the 'sucker punch on a faceoff puke' that is Cammelarri.

Haha I don't know I live in BC but I'm sure they are still there , maybe not in abundance as '04 , might have to go inside one of the pubs now a days

Just watched the Bure interview from Canucks for kids day. At first he seemed very nervous then as it went along he got more comfortable. I thing he is a person who likes is privacy seems like a very soft spoken individual. I like him very much and really don't believe the BS going on at the time of his departure was his doing. Guy got a bad rep for wanting a fair deal. Great player great person. He was my hero growing up and I still remember during the pre game warm up screaming at him through the glass for him to look over and he did, gave a wink. Great memory. He had a 3 point game that night 2 were goals. RETIRE#10. Most exciting individual I have had the pleasure to watch live on so many occasions.

Chances are we'll have to go through LA or Anaheim and Chicago to get to the cup final. Going to be a tough road. I don't see many upsets in the playoffs this year.

We can beat any team in the west in a 7 game series IMO. LA vs Chi / Van vs Anaheim would be nice.

Blues move into 6 spot ... Wings slide to 8th ... Big game for minny and jackets today

Keep them out of that 6 spot. Datsyuk is scary. I think they could give the Ducks problems.

I am going to rip J R Smiths guts...
I dont know how the hell that shot went in

Schneider was great again last night. There were some great shifts by the Sedins and I'm liking Garrison more and more each game but this team needs Kesler healthy soon.... and to stay healthy.

I'm not sure which Raymond we will have for the playoffs. If he plays the way he did for most of this shortened season with a healthy Kesler and Booth... this team could actually score some goals in the playoffs.

Are Canuck fans prepared to possibly go Roy 2C kes 3C , and just let kesler play shutdown, the guy has not played a lot of hockey over the past year so is it fair to him to expect the kesler from the Nashville series to be back in full force ? I feel like many fans are thinking he will jump right back into it with no rust
