It will be a close race to the end I think. Hopefully the flames can get some momentum and find a way to get a spot in the postseason. The more I look at it, the more I think there is not much separating these teams (Calgary, Vancouver, St. Louis and Utah). They are pretty even in overall skill so it’s anybody’s spot to take. If Pettersson turns on his game back to his level of 2 years ago then I think the Canucks have the advantage. If not, I think it’s a toss up.
Would really like to see Zary back given more opportunities down the stretch, more powerplay time and playing in key moments at the end of games and in overtime. Don’t like to see a player like him sitting on the bench for the last 20 minutes of a game. The point is to get the young players experience in big games and situations.
