2. Really Rooting for the Sens to make a big push into the playoffs. Their fan base finally seeing some light and they deserve it.

   That being said you just know we’re gonna win 4-3 in OT on our road to being the 9th seed in the west by putting up 94 points

3. Have any Canucks had a hat trick this season? Maybe a Gordie Howe for Millsy tonight.

4. What are everyone’s thoughts on our AHL blue line surpassing expectations during this little win streak?

   Wolanin, Brisebois, juulson, Burroughs have all been excellent. It’s interesting and alot of credit probably is to be given to the new coaching staff for structure.

   Just seems unexpected a month ago
