Two teams in opposite directions now.
Have to admit the Jets look like a different team under Maurice. Still think they are in tough in the West to be anything other than a bubble team for many years but they are making things interesting at least.
Only sixpoints back of hte canucks for the final wild card spot and the canucks could certainly piss that lead away if they keep losing. They`re a below .500 team now. Finally scoring some goals but giving them up too now, Eddie Lack had a heroic game and still gave up four.
Preached it all season long but the canucks system was too predictable and too aggressive all season long and that teams would eventually dismantle it. It`s happening now.
One final note. Dan Hamhuis looks awful this season. Zero confidence with the puck and not great without it either. It`s disappointing that team Canada always seems to ignore current play when selecting that one or two guys they have a soft spot for. Hamhuis likely won`t play in Sochi as a No. 8 guy anyway so its probably irrelevant but he shouldn`t be there.
