[OOT] February 25th - 8 Games

[flames_fan_down_under]

Was at the Canucks-Sharks game tonight. Thought the Canucks were by far the much better team for the first two periods and were unlucky to be down 2-1. Then the Sharks just took over in the third. I think I counted 4 consecutive neutral zone turnovers by the Canucks in the third.

The Sedins are still decent players and were pretty good tonight. Loui Eriksson was completely unnoticeable the entire night.

I try not to fret over OOT too much. The other teams in the hunt are not going to lose every game.

Flames just need to keep winning.

I'd rather shoot the sitting Ducks first. The Ducks did the one job, they lost and that was good to see. The Flames can catch them.

I agree with the Wild but that's only if they can hang on to 1st place in the conf. The Bhawks are only 3 points back of them. Are we ready for the Bhawks?

Kind of surprised the Sabres lost 5-3 to the Avs. They are in the hunt for a playoff spot and they lose to a last place team? The Rangers had a 2-0 lead and let the Devils take a 3-2 by scoring their goals late in the 2nd period and early in the 3rd. Clendening tied it up and Zibinejad with the OT winner, 4-3 Rangers. Lots of shots in the game, 40-38 for the Rangers.

It's a valuable point for the Leafs who lost 3-2 to the Habs in OT. Mathews almost got the hat trick in OT. The Islanders must have partied hard the previous night, it's like they mailed it in with the 7-0 loss to the BJs. Korpisalo with the 24 save SHUTOUT. The outdoor battle of Pennsylvania had the Penguins win 4-2. It was a good game even though it's a repeat game, it had good energy. The flushing toilet sound is what the Canucks heard when they lost to the Sharks, their playoff chances are done.
