columbus on a nice run right now, four in a row, they beat detroit last night 3-0.
canucks will play them again tuesday before they fly home, hope they can get a win this time,
but with columbus playing so tough right now, have to cross our fingers and hope.
Again, because teams are sitting at certain places in the standings, really has no influene
on winning or losing because teams have slumps and also get on a roll throughout the season,
so depends at what point teams play each other.
canucks near the top of the conference, but not playing well right now, so they have to dig deep
to find some wins, doesn't really matter who they are playing.
Minnesota won today, canucks play them tomorrow, and they are only 2 points behind
vancouver, very important game.
once one gets past the 2nd spot in the western conference, third to eleventh place
are only two points apart, kind of fun now to see what teams can hang in there
and what teams slip down and out of the running as the season moves along.
calgary are definitely struggling, lost last night 4-0 to anaheim, and tonight 6-0 to los angelos.
not sure what the future of that team is, maybe iginla and kiprisoff will be gone by trade deadline,
I wonder.
Also, edmonton oilers are 'not' doing well at all, the mixture of all of the young
highly talented players doesn't seem to be working, they are not jelling,
can't score enough goals, and teams check those young stars very closely, and
they aren't big enough to battle their way around the rink, they need some help.
