If they sell off at the deadline and fall out of the race, the Canucks could primed to nab that spot if they're able to get healthy, whoever gets that spot could have a hilariously low point total.

If the number 1 seed in the west doesn't sweep the opening round they should forfiet the playoffs.

I will consider Dean Lombardi if we need a new one
His problem in LA is that he was too attached to the old guards after two cups, but he sure the hell knows how to build a contender,

I heard Lombardi turned the Aquamen down a long time ago. Maybe it was in the Monday Musings at some point...

i agree. I've had some good arguments about this when they were piling on him after the Voynov debacle.
SJ and LA were built by schrewd moves from Lombardi
Especially if they win the division and Pittsburgh picks up the FIRST wild card spot. That means the Pens which would be a TOUGH 1st round opponent
Yes they would be as Crosby is having a MVP type of season down the stretch here.
The Ducks won quite convincingly tonight and now have 55 points in 59 games, are they too far back?
They also play other teams in the race in 5 of their 6 next games so they control their own fate.
4 of our next 5 games are against teams in that race as well.
we only have 3 more games against teams in the race for the next of the year so we need to make the most of it and specifically not give away loser points.
I think by the end of this month we will have a clearer picture...or an even murker one as I never saw the Ducks and Hawks getting back into the race.
Carolina makes a fun shirt to troll "the haters"
Canucks steal the design of a "the Flow" shirt made for charity and claim they didnt know...

Fair point. I should have written "the illusion of more progress than they've actually made".

Well the best part is, it was a horrible trade yes but on top of everything you throw in the unforced error of the history of Manning and McDavid, your best player.
On the Oilers board they are even wondering aloud thet fix was in and he did a nice deal for his buddy cause he saw he was on the way out.

The best part of that trade for me was Chia facing the media and saying how they're "not sexy" players. What a joke. There's no way this fraud is getting another chance to be a GM.

It’s clear Benning was the brains in that duo in Boston (sounds odd when I say that)
The Manning trade was really really weird because that franchise has such an obsession with culture. You'd think part of creating that culture would entail not bringing in the guy who broke your captain's collarbone accidentally on purpose.

Or:
It's being called a turtle derby for a reason. None of the 7-last place teams in the west would even really be in the conversation in the east. And if we talking last year they wouldn't be in the conversation in the west or east.
So do the Ducks have a chance? Absolutely but it's an outside chance. It's hard to make up 5-6 points at this time over year. That requires 3 more wins than that wildcard team. So that wildcard team goes , say, 11-11 over the last 22. That requires the ducks to go the equivalent 14-8....that's a damn good record (and assumes no one else goes on a run).

The Ducks are behind too many teams. I don't really think they have any sort of real chance barring an insane run.
Oh hell I'd watch that.
Kassian beating Gagner into a bloody pulp, Manning standing on McDavid's neck til he passes out, while the two high fiving each other?
I'd watch that all day long.
