Judging by Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers’ 31-save performance last night, you could wonder why it was the first time he started in 36 games.  Of course, the Oilers have little to play for, other than dousing the Flames’ chances of capturing the Northwest Division title.  In the words of Howard Berger: why weren’t they playing like this when it mattered… last week?

The Canucks can wrap-up the division with a victory over the Avalanche tonight, while the Flames need to beat the Oilers in Calgary and hope Roberto Luongo somehow shits the bed.  The Canuck bandwagon is getting full, climb on.

Blues and Ducks Secure Playoff Spots

I’m dumbfounded, not that St. Louis squeaked out a playoff birth, but that the Nashville Predators failed to turn it on at season’s end and crawl in.  The rotund Barry Trotz has a recipe for success, unfortunately for he and the Preds it doesn’t involve starting the season well or competing before February.  I hate the Ducks, they’re a joke, and the joke is on Emilio Estevez.
