Stl has passed Van with 2 games in hand now. 4 games winning streak.

I wonder if they start buying now.

They probably need a shutdown C and a rugged stay at home D

Also, once the Canuck game is done it will be 3 games in hand...

They see the Next 15 years with Getzlaf back in their line up in Kirby Dach

I remember there being issues with his skating and his attitude back in 2003 so he fell in the draft. Been a good player for a very long time in the league. Dach kinda reminds me of him yeah, except Dach is a better skater.

Smith is the relief goalie it is now 4-1 they just scored on Smith

Lol, then it must have been Rit that got the hook. I just saw the box score and assumed it was Smith.

He's been really good for them this year, 2 goals on 4 shots tonight though.

It’s a bit ridiculous how tight the bottom of the West is. 5 points separate 8th from 15th.

Must be 6 shots, box car says he made 4 saves.

Is that the guy you want to pin your playoff hopes on? Everyone has a bad game once in a while but...

Will make for an interesting wildcard chase down the stretch.

I've seen a lot of WHL games over the years and I really only remember a few players from those days that struck me as better then the rest players.

Provorov, Patrick, Getzlaf, Hall and Ellis(when Brandon held the mem cup), Draisitial. Brayden Schenn because he played for Brandon for couple years.

Sanheim from one single game where he got booted out for being a little female dog.

Sure why not? Guy has one bad game and he's suddenly no good? He's played well all year for them. One game. Even the best in the world, like Pettersson, have an off game.

Sanheim is really turning out well for Philly, he's getting more ice now and he's making the most of it. I remember Vantel and I liking him in his draft year.

I wonder if Hutton and Stecher will be a Canuck pairing next year?

He died?

He's okay now, the sun is down.

Huttons really looked impressive in the last while. He's never going to be a top 3 guy but if he had the slots in front of him filled he'd be great as a #4

Oilers win making things even tighter in the West basement.
