Canucks will likely lose by one goal, shortly after Sundin heads to the P Box....
Don't know if any of you saw the D Man for the Canucks whining on the news, but with jackazzes like that on the team, they have more to deal with than battling the opponents and Media.

Lol you hit the nail on the head with this guy Clash. Anybody that know's anything about hockey know's that any team pushing deep into the playoff's is riding a hot goalie.
Who's to say we won't pick up a backup before the playoff's anyways????

A little off topic here but what about them CALGARY HITMEN, #1 team in the WHL, they have it all this year and are a serious threat to take the Memorial, going to break all time attendance record as well. Real class act management to boot ! It's gonna be fun...

Whoa there....the vancouver Giants are actually the top team in the league...have 4 games in hand and only 1 pt back of hitmen...therefore best winning percentage at 44-4-3 Unreal record...

The Giants are not #1 in the WHL. The Hitmen are.
The Hitmen OWNED the giants last time they played. Not sure on the season series status. But I noticed we get to play them one more time.
The CHL ranks the giants below the Hitmen as well.
All this doesnt matter much though the Memorial cup is a different kettle of fish.
Should be a good but short series in the WHL playoffs if these teams meet.
Both teams have outstanding records this year

Flamers and oilers
Well went to the GAME yesterday and DAMN we had a few quality scoring chances, breakaway..but were not able to score, ROLI played awesome...just wasnt lucky..had some bad bounces, no excuse CHICAGO is a much better/faster team. FLAMERS lost yesterday  Looks like KIPPER couldnt stop everything..you will slowly see the FLAMERS drop in the standings...if you ride a HOT goalie into the post season your not ALWAYS guarnteed he will still be as HOT like he was during the regular season...PLAYOFFS are different, its like when we made it to the CUP final vs CANES, ROLI had a average season, playoffs appeared and you couldnt score on him, its different for every goalie..I guess we have to wait and see!

WOW, I was at the game in question are you sure you were in Rexall?? I am Oilers fan but holy what a BRUTAL game. Outshot 32-13 bofore the game was even over. Edmonton did not even look like they were in the same legue as Chicago on this night. Could not get out of thier own end and give-aways left and right. Very disapointing to watch.
But... I think Edmonton will come back around and start playing consistently better hockey and find themselves somewhere between the 6-8 spot in the playoffs, I just dont see there getting to much separation from 5-10 in the western conferance. It will come down to the last week like it always does. I am hoping for thd Oilers to squeek into 6, I am sure Calgary will still be in 3 and a battle of Alberta playoff round will begin, that would be awesome!
Should be a great last couple of months of Hockey, hope the boys from Edmonton can turn it around!!

Newsflash... You will find that the vast majority of shots in ANY game occur before the game is over. 
As for the Oiler's fortunes (and I'm a fan), I see nothing that would indicate that they are going to get significantly better or worse than they are now. The coaching group has been in place for years, no key players are injured, etc. They have a new rich owner but are already near the salary cap, so can't go out and pay through the nose for new stud players. I think what we have now is what we are going to have for a while. Leadership will remain for this year, but if the team misses the playoffs or squeeks in and tanks in the first round, I can't imagine why anyone in the oilers coaching ranks or management should get to keep their jobs. Mac T and Lowe are good people, but have had a good long time to try and just haven't done the job.

oks i am with ya..whether we make the playoffs or not....i think the need a management/coaching change.....and they a sell off and a rebuild......and as much as i love who and what the oilers were in the past, i do not think it is a prerequisite for being an oilers coach or GM...

He's 66 years old for goodness sake. He's not the long-term coaching solution. And his resume is ok to good, but not great. .567 regular season winning percentage. Got to cup once in 30 years of coaching and lost. Did win Jack Adams as coach of the year twice, but the LAST time was 18 YEARS AGO!

They will be fine, tough schedule coming up. Once they get "er" back here, I think they will be tough to beat the rest of the way...
