Well, Gretzky's boys did the Canucks another favor and beat the Sharks at home last night. Vancouver needs the win tonight to stay ahead of the pack. Only two of these three teams will make the playoffs as we all know LA is done. |

big night tonight! With an Oil win and a Van loss it's all over but the cryin' for the Nucks. As much as I hate to say it as a Flames fan, I think the Oil will clinch tonight. |

Teehee......................hee
;)
But I mean seriously, the game plan is SOOOO simple, watch JOE THORNTON. It's no fluke he had 4A last night because he does similarly EVERY NIGHT. The GWG in OT was hilarious...Thornton just trotting across the blue line like a teenage girl skips in a park; no one was putting pressure on him. He skates almost all the way into the zone with 3 guys watching him but still no one putting pressure on him. He puts it right on Ehrhoff's tape and game over.
Vancouver doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs, and a Sharks win with an Oiler win will make sure that won't happen. |

I am starting to wonder if the Oilers and Canucks really want to make the playoffs. Its like they are fighting over who gets an early start on golfing season. |

Edmonton lost to Detroit tonite! Still some a glimmer of hope for the hapless Canucks...however for them to make it into the post-season, Edmonton will have to lose at least one of their last 2 games for any real shot. Wait & see... |

Looks like the Oil did those pesky Canucks a favour tonight. Still in the hunt, unlike my doomed Leafs. |

One win against the Canucks and the Sharks clinch a berth...

All I have to say is being a Canucks fan is a very difficult thing. Thank goodness for playoff hockey pools - the only reason why I will be able to stay interested this year. |

Glad the Flames are waaaaaaaay up at the top. It would be nice to see the Sharks crap the bed and lose the next 4 so the Oil and Nucks could slide in. But I don't think that is going to happen the way Thornton, Cheechoo and Marleau are playing. They're breaking club and league records like crazy right now!!! |

The Oilers loss last night againt the Blues hurts their chances.. Now the Canucks have a game in hand and are two points behind the Oil. They have a better record (More Wins) so that would break the tie. This one is going to go down to the wire. I hope the Oil and Canucks both make it but its not looking so good. |

You guys know I'm the die hard Flames fan but I found myself cheering for the nucks tonight against my team. I live in Van and since the Flames have all but locked up the div and secured the playoff spot I was hoping the Canucks would win...but only in OT. And lo and behold it happened. 2 points for the Canucks and a single for the Flames. I would love to see this city go playoff crazy again.
Jovo proved his worth tonight. I've never cared much for him but maybe he is the magic ingredient????
But let's not kid our selves...All Canadian final...Flames/Senators |

Denial...
The only real way the Canucks would still have a chance would be to sweep their home-and-home with the Sharks at the end of the year. Other than that, it's over. |

I think we need some canuck fan support on this thread. Yeah Bertuzzi's a bum, but the rest of the team is pumped and ready to go. I don't know how many times in the past the canucks have been close to not making the playoffs, and if they manage to squeek in - or ROAR in for that matter - i can see them being a tough team to face in any round. With Jovocop looking like he's reeturning and Salo not far behind, make space for us bitches. Flames and Oilers ain't got nothing on the West Coast Express... oh yeah, and Go Wild!!! |

Don't give up on the boys yet. Canucks win 4 of 5 and they should make it. If only the Sharks would stop winning. |

The new battle is between Vancouver and Edmonton for 8th place. SJS is starting to make it's final sprint and it's pouring on the pressure with a big 2-1 win over Colorado last night. I think SJS will finish in 6th or 7th leaving the door open for Edmonton to squeeze into 8th. Sorry Nucks and Kings fans. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.

HA oh wouldn't it be great for the Sharks if tonight they win in OT and tomorrow they win in OT! That could screw the Canucks and Oilers quite a bit!

C'mon now bablaboushka, you must have some room for a third favorite team don't you? Ha Ha.
Anyways yah I agree that the 3 point games are real killers. I just hope the SJ/LA game is decided in regulation. |

Brutal effort last night by the Canucks. Good timing too with the Sharks and Oilers both winning. Sorry Babs I don't do the bandwagon thing. Don't worry, it ain't over yet. |

One game down, three in hand...
There's still room on the SJS bus for ya! |

Posted - 04/02/2006 : 12:42:20
I just can't believe they came back to tie it up in the third, only to lose in OT. If there is a silver lining though, at least they haven't fallen behind pace to the Canucks and they did gain a point on Edmonton, so it's certainly not close to over yet. It will likely come down to their home and home with Vancouver in the last few games of the regular season.
Looks like Vancouver doesn't want to make the playoffs... ;) |

Yup, the Sharks just can't seem to get it together. Just when you think there is a chance they drop an easy one. Last night, against the Coyotes, in the first 2 periods they didn't even get any shots! |
| bablaboushka |
Posted - 04/01/2006 : 09:53:15
DAH!
Man I hate those stupid 3 point games!!!!!!!!!!
GRRR! |

Posted - 03/31/2006 : 10:16:43
The Sharks really have to stop losing to the bottom teams like this, and for some reason they've had so much trouble against Phoenix this year. Not to mention Cheechoo took a shot off the ankle, which doesn't do San Jose too much good in their hunt to track down the 6th-7th-8th spots. |
