Not sure if anyone noticed, but we're above the Caps in the standings now. And like someone mentioned, a win tomorrow puts us in the #2 wildcard spot

Penguins getting smoked by the Oilers 6-1 after two

For all the moaning about their play lately, if they can manage to hold on and win that would be three wins in the last four

Clague being 24 IS young. I could see him developing into a solid 6 because he has the tools, he's still putting it all together, and that's where the coach/development comes in. I remember when Clague played for the Wheat Kings and at one point the year before his draft year he was ranked as high as #2 overall. Some players take a little time to grow. I trust the experts in the organization, not the ones on this board.

Am I missing something? He's a defenceman and doesn't qualify.

So to summarize: Sabres win Florida lose in regulation Islanders lose in regulation Penguins lose in regulation Capitals lose in regulation Flyers lose in regulation Red Wings lose in regulation What a night!

Luce, Ramsey and Gare at one point

4-1 Kraken, 15 minutes left. Flyers are about to lose too.

3-1 Kraken end of the 2nd

Red Wings/Kraken 1-1 after 1

1-0 Kraken

Make that 4-0 Canes. Caps look done...

3-0 Canes now halfway through the second. If we can win tonight it's huge

Boy do we have a tough schedule coming up after the Sharks. The whole rest of the season looks tough. If we get in I'll be very impressed

I think a win against the Sharks is a true must win for any chance at the playoffs this year. Our schedule after that is Leafs, Lightning, Panthers, Capitals. And that stretch will determine if we're a playoff team this year or percolating another year. It would be tough for any team in the league playing that schedule, but that's the challenge.

Damn, Wings win in a shoot out

Oilers just tied the Red Wings 4-4 in the 3rd

I think that's Tage's 70th point this year

Still have the Penguins game later - go Sharks!

Haha - worst take ever above me from Bull Buchanan

Win and we pass the Penguins and are in the last wild card spot for the playoffs.

His slump is season long - the Canucks clearly have not been in a rush to put him back in the net because he's been outplayed by the "backups". This years stats (not last years or any previous year): GP 15 W3 L10 GAA 3.93 SV% .883 And we're considering trading our up and coming goaltender for this hot mess? I'll also mention the losses have predominantly been on him, not as much the team around him. He's really let the Canucks down this season, which is why they want him moved.

He's been contributing to the disfunction, not a victim of it. Living in Van we see all their games. He's completely lost it. And he's been injured a lot. Buyer beware.

As a Vancouver resident I can tell you Demko has been awful this year, fallen right off a cliff. I wouldn't even make the phone call.

Sharks win 6-4. Let's get that 8 spot!
