Yeah that's what I read. Senators dominated us all year, though, so I didn't really expect that to change.
Guy Boucher didn't like the game (or the reffing) much at all last night
I expect you to die, Mr. Bond.

I felt like you could have won until Roloson had to step in. The guy's a mess.
You're probably better off playing with the net empty and play an extra skater than him in goal.

Welcome friend. Prepare to have your sack lathered.
Get used to that.... it comes with the territory.

AMEX line back together again on the Canucks, Tanev and Grags paired up at practice apparently.

Hmmm... looks like one of Manics' long-term last ditch alts.

I hadn't even realized the Pacific division was so poor this year.
Fixed that for you.
(but yeah, you're mostly right)
if the Kings could actually score goals, they'd be leading the western conference

I'm hoping the Jets make the playoffs. That would be awesome for their first year.
That said, tomorrow is probably bad news. Tampa Bay plays Washington, and the Jets are probably going to lose to the nucks.

And if the Columbus Blue Jackets had an actual team around Nash... well, they'd still probably be dead last because Scott Howsen would somehow fuck it up.

If you take out the Canucks, then the upper echelon of the Western Conference is pretty much just the Central Division.
yeah i instantly regretted posting that sentence. but i wasn't going to do a ninja edit..

Same thing in the East. 4 of the top 5 teams are from the Atlantic.

Pacific is like the Southeast: top team could finish third and the second team could miss the playoffs.

Wait, what?
Where did Dallas come from?
The beauty of being in a shitty division...

Schenn is sitting out.
Yeah I know, but it's still kinda funny.
Pens win. I will 1 week avatar bet it.
This would make more sense if Fleury was playing.
Does not matter.
FT student in Canada here: nothing, tuition is a non-refundable tax credit, you can only use it to bring your owing taxes down to 0.
9 road games left out of 15. It they can somehow find a way to win on the road, then they've got a shot at it. I think with .500 on the road down this last stretch might even be enough (assuming stellar home games, of course).

I think I may have to cheer for Tampa tomorrow. The slight lesser of 2 evils. I've not watched any Canucks games this year, other than a bit of the Red Wings/Canucks one earlier in the year where Kronwall destroyed Kessler. If they are anything like I remember them from the playoffs/finals, physically, they will be pushovers. I think the Jets actually have a chance if they can keep the skilled players in check. Also, you never quite know which Luongo will show up...
But there is a reason why the Canucks are in the upper echelon in the league right now, and the Jets would do well to respect that and play accordingly in order to continue our playoff push.
I'm pretty hyped for the game though. This will be the perfect test to see how far we have come from our opening game debacle against the Habs.
My voice is only now starting to recover from Mondays Jets/Sabres game... I recorded some footage on my phone of the last few bits of the game, and damn, it's loud in there... If we can get into the playoffs... the roof is gonna blow off. Would be a perfect cap to such a nice inaugural season for the Jets 2.0. (2 more wins I think, and they will equal their total wins from all of last year, so not bad.)

You should. Garon's basically done for the season. Unless Dustin Tokarski's a miracle worker, we're finished. We might end up being a good spoiler for you though; we've got two games left against Washington, two against Toronto, and one against Buffalo.
Anyone know what the direct link to TSN.ca's stream might be? I can't find any clickable links on the site... =/ I just see picture ads for the stream to tonight's Leafs-Pens game.

Go Leafs!

WE'VE GOT KASSIAN NOW
Really, calling the Canucks pushovers is pretty silly. The Bruins are the toughest team in the NHL and the Canucks were riddled with injuries. We've got enough toughness that the Jets wouldn't be able to exploit any 'soft' players.
Schneider is starting. And that Luongo narrative is kinda strange given how he's been one of the most consistent goalies this season.Erdrick said:
