We have been good in the second of back to backs this year.

Miller to start.

Who replaces Vrbata? Perhaps Dorsett or Hansen will suddenly heal!
Higgins?

oh, ya, Higgins, the forgotten one. What's to lose? Another game? 2 points closer to heaven, (maybe).

Surprising something to get somewhat excited for after the Trameister.

Build up the trade value Higgy! draft day/summer trade.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

No idea why the big tumble in Higgy this year. Didn't seem right from the start this year.
Out of character for him.

He broke his foot in camp and never recovered.

An injury like that on an old man like Higgins has been known to ruin a season.

A little action in OOTS for us to watch.

Minny beat Caolina 3-2 in OT. A good 3 pointer for us.

Buffalo plays Toronto. Someone will get two points whether they want them or not. I'd like a three pointer there as well.

Columbus takes on NJD. No reason why Columbus can't win this one I say!


Other than that not a lot in OOTS for us.

Toronto wins in regulation.
Even with the win the leaves are officially eliminated from the playoffs.

Columbus wins in regulation.

Columbus and Calgary at 66 points, tied with us.

Edmonton one point with 65 points.

Winnipeg three points back with 63.

Toronto five points back at 61.

So that means a regulation loss tonight puts us in line for a top-5 pick?

So... do we have a magic number to hit the bottom 3?
