Will this be the start of a play off push or a GM Place version of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre ( which happened in a garage)? :laughing:

Hopefully Willie Mitchell is back to anchor the defence corps and the Canucks grind out a win.

Well, you could say that their hopes of winning the division are on the line tonight. If they lose this one outright, they'll be 7 points and 5 wins back of the Wild; a massive divide in the age of the OTL point. If they are to have any hopes of catching Minnesota, they have to win this one in regulation.

It's not do or die tonight, but it is do or be f**ked.

I think focussing on winning the division should be the furthest thing from their minds (not totally impossible, but, hey, some don't even think we'll finish 8th without a miricle ;) ). I hope big Willie is back. He sure would help. 4-2 Canucks win.

Well, it looks like the division is just about out of reach, nice job by the franchising player being at his best for the biggest game of the season so far.

Who cares about the division

This team has to make the playoffs, first and foremost

If the team is in the playoffs, they worry about the division

Sure, we didn't win the game. BUT, we got a valuable point..and have points in how many straight games?

Thats a start, and things are looking up

But, Luongo has to be a lot stronger..and I haven't seen him play at that elite level
