Not worried about the playoffs - Arizona and Edmonton to end the season will definitely help. I'm a little worried about Eddie though, he's been crap the last couple of games and when he's not great this team slumps.

Lots of sloppy plays this game, it seems every time Sbisa and Bieksa are on the ice its a fire drill, and Vey's line has been bad. Horvat's line is feast or famine - either a couple of good chances on offence or a couple the other way.

The team looks tired and I can't blame them, this is 11 games in 18 days and it looks like it.

Ya I'd be trading Higgins and the way Matthias is finishing the season I wouldn't be in a hurry to get him locked up.

Can honestly say they didn't deserve a point. But when you score four you should win. Higgins close to tying it but too little to late.

Canucks just made things tough for themselves.

All in all .500 on the road trip but could have been so much better.

This just sucks.

The Canucks have ALWAYS found ways to lose to the Edmonton's and Arizona's of the league.....especially on Thursday nights.

Also Sven didn't look ready to play at all. Tough situation to put the guy in, but he's gotta be ready to go.

Also the Canuck should run Lee Stempniak. He's been scoring on us for years, with impunity.
Baertshi actually didn't look too bad considering he got one practice in with the team after a day of no sleep, and then into the fire against a Jets team that would almost certainly be in 2nd place and locked into the playoffs if they were in our division. New linemates, new team, on the road.....a very tough situation for the kid.

He had a good first period. That penalty in the offensive zone in the 2nd was bad, after that he didn't get as much time.....or at least I didn't notice him.

If in the beginning of the season anyone thought the Canucks could get 96 points and into the playoffs they would be happy. The canucks are not SC contenders but the experience a player like Horvat is getting is needed.

More changes are needed in the off season, a couple vets gone and 2 propsects given a real chance is what I'm hoping for.

Really would like to see a new #1 PP

Well there were a number of us that argued they are indeed a playoff team, but not a contender. Not everyone saw it as doom and gloom. We are good enough to make the playoffs but the only hope we have of getting out of round one is if we play the Flames and even that will be tough. If we draw LA we will be done. After the first round, the only hope we would have is there are first round upsets.

But ya, I really hope we turn over a few players.
