Here we go again - don’t let up now, boys!

A win tonight would leapfrog us over Vegas. A win tonight coupled with an LA loss to Anaheim would put us just 2 points back of LA with a game in hand.

The latest biggest game of the year couldn’t have higher stakes. Going to be a long wait until puck drop!

Hot take, every game is a must win down the stretch.

I just wonder how long the excitement lasts until the bubble is burst.

Nashville and LA also play tonight.

Vegas just isn't going to get it done this year.

The Stutzle/Norris/Tkachuk combo is a pretty lethal one for Ottawa. Win or lose, they find ways to get pucks into the net. Shutting them down / minimizing their impact is going to be huge.

Big question heading into tonight - do the Canucks chance starting Halak? We have a tough road trip coming up, and this is the second half of a back to back.

I'd start him and say his entire career is on the line!

I’d roll with Demko tonight to try to secure a win. I’d give Halak one of the 2 upcoming games.

Asking a lot of Demko to do a pair of 3 games in 4 nights for this stretch vs Dal, Ott, Min and to close out the year with Sea, LA, Edm. With the cal game sandwiched in between.

No travel so he got to bed at a regular time.

Its these kind of games that concern me...The Senators lost last night to the lowly Kraken, so I'm sure that they're not going to roll over just for the Canucks.

We all saw what happened against the Red Wings and Sabres..It would be a shame to falter at this point.

Just f***ing win,.....thats all.

Especially with our upcoming schedule, this game is an absolute must. Can’t afford to sleep on Ottawa, especially with some of the offensive weapons they have.

I mean...literally every game is a must win. The Canucks have no margin for error and even if they completely win out there's still a chance they manage to miss out. Every game, after a win, is the most important game of the season. We're on the 17th most important game of the season at this point.

If we win out we make the playoffs. It's guaranteed with the Vegas loss last night.

I thought they were saying on the post-game show that the Canucks actually now of 'control' their playoff destiny. If they win out the rest of the way, they're 'in'.

They have a game in hand on Vegas and the Kings, and they play L.A. in the final game of the season. And if they beat the Kings, they'd own the playoff tie-breaker because of a better head-to-head record.
