I guess the Canucks opponent hasn’t been decided? I thought it was Nashville? What other possibilities exist? There will be disappointment in Canuckland if its anyone but Nashville as it seemed like a shoe in.
The only things decided for sure in the West are the Jets vs Colorado matchup, and Dallas, Vancouver and Edmonton's position in their division. Vancouver could still tie Dallas in the point race for Western Conference top seed. The tie-breaker there is regulation wins, and I don't know who has that, but I'm assuming its Vancouver, or the Stars would have the #1 seed locked up. So if Vancouver wins tonight and Dallas loses in regulation, then Vancouver has the #1 seed and faces Wild Card #2. If Dallas gets a point tonight, Vancouver gets WC1.I guess the Canucks opponent hasn’t been decided? I thought it was Nashville? What other possibilities exist?

WC 1 and 2 are still up for grabs though, with Nashville currently sitting at WC1, and LA as WC2, but Vegas only has a 1 point lead on LA and both still have a game tonight - and both are only 2 back of Nashville, so the possibilities are:
Vegas Wins, LA loses - no changes to current standings
Vegas wins, LA wins = Vegas finishes 3rd in Pacific, LA and Nashville tie in points but Nashville I think has more regulation wins, so they would still finish ahead of LA for the WC spots.
LA Wins, Vegas Loses in OT/SO - 3 way tie at 99 points. Vegas finishes 3rd in Pacific via tiebreaker, Nashville finishes WC1, LA finishes WC2
LA Wins, Vegas Loses in regulation - LA finishes 3rd in Pacific, Nashville finishes WC1, Vegas finishes WC2
LA and Vegas both lose - no changes to current standings
I think that's right, as long as I have the regulation wins tiebreaker correct.
A Saskatchewan at sign?No matter who they play, it should be a
I simplified too much in my response but Nashville has WC1...it is decided.Pretty sure this is bang-on, except the Canucks-Jets game is tomorrow.
But if Dallas wins tonight, it won't matter anyway.
Wish they went back to 1 vs 8So complicated lol but thanks for the clarification.
I think they will be easy. Definitely the easiest matchup in the west.Nashville won't be easy, but I want no part of Vegas or LA.
You haven’t watched Nashville much have you, especially down the stretch. There is nothing easy about playing them.I think they will be easy. Definitely the easiest matchup in the west.
Rye-at...riot?No matter who they play, it should be a
If Dal gains 1 point tonight vs STL, Van is locked into #2 seed. Simple as that. Then they would play Nash and Nash holds a tie breaker over the other 2 teams (LA/LV) to finish ahead of them if tied for points for WC1.I guess the Canucks opponent hasn’t been decided?

How the hell do the Blues have a good record against the Stars? Hockey is wild.Canucks will play the Kings in the first round as the Stars will get flattened tonight in St Louis and the Canucks will shutout the Jets tomorrow night. LA and the Las Vegas Golden Knights will both win their final games, keeping the Kings in WC2, setting up a first round battle with the Tyler Myers led Canucks
Easy? I think they are the exact opposite tbh. Not necessarily saying they are going to advance from the 1st rd but they definitely will make it hard for their opponent.I think they will be easy. Definitely the easiest matchup in the west.
I tried to decipher this, and was left with the assumption you just grabbed two random pics.No matter who they play, it should be a
