Maybe he meant the Pacific, which would have been true going into last night's games (but just barely).
Prior to last night, the Canucks had 20 points since the ASG, Anaheim had 19, LA had 18, Calgary had 17, San Jose had 13, Edmonton had 13, and Arizona had 9.
After last night, Vancouver is still at 20, but Anaheim is now at 21, LA is also at 20, Calgary is at 19, and San Jose is at 15 points since the ASG.
That really shows how hard it is to gain ground in the NHL. It's been 5 weeks since the All Star break and San Jose is the only team in the Pacific playoff race to lose any significant ground.
Minnesota has 29 of a possible 34 points since the ASG.
