NHL '11 - '12 Thread

[mithrilG60]

Christ, I can't keep up with the Pacific Division. As it stands right now Vancouver gets San Jose in a repeat of last year's Conference Final but god only knows what's going to happen there. I think the NHL's system of seeding the Division leaders no lower than 3rd regardless of their point totally is completely idiotic.

Either way, Vancouver is now 1st in the West and tied on points with the Rangers for first overall. Our last 3 games (Anaheim, Calgary, Edmonton) are, on paper anyways, much easier than either the Blues (Detroit, Phoenix, Dallas) or the Rangers (Boston, Philly, Pitsburgh, Washington) so there's a good chance that we'll repeat last year with both 1st in the West and President's Trophy.

If only the Canucks would find their offense again instead of relying on the goaltending to bail them out. It works ok when both your goalies are at a level that places them as the #1 on basically any team in the league but it's just not sustainable. God it's going to suck losing Schneider in the off-season. It's going to suck even more seeing him in Maple Leaf blue, especially for him going from one of the top teams in the league to a team that really doesn't even deserve to be in the NHL based on it's caliber of play over the last decade
