GAME TIME: 7:00 PM PST
TV: CBC
ENEMY TERRITORY: Lowetide
-----------------------------
UPDATE 12:01 PM:
In case you didn't know this, it's Roberto Luongo's birthday today. He turned 30.
-----------------------------
UPDATE FRIDAY, 9:18 PM:
The Wild beat up on the Flames 4-0 tonight and the Hawks beat the Preds. The Canucks can put themselves in the driver's seat now with a win over the Oilers. I get this feeling that if we don't win the Northwest we won't have home ice advantage in the playoffs, as it looks like Chicago is going to continue their torrid pace.
-----------------------------
The Oilers currently sit in 11th spot in the Western Conference, 4 points out of 8th spot. Already their chances of getting in are slim to none, especially when you consider that the 8th place Blues are 7-2-1 in their last 10 and the 7th place Ducks are 8-2-0 in their last 10 games.
Oilers' GM Kevin Lowe addressed the media after Edmonton's 2-1 loss to the Sharks last night basically expressing his (and owner Darryl Katz's) disdain for the Oilers' media, who are calling for a change in management, especially Craig MacTavish's head on a platter. Management is not changing anything at this time of the season and are hoping the Oilers can rally by winning out their final games for a chance to squeak into a playoff spot.
I would appreciate if if the Oilers would just roll over and give up as the Canucks come for a visit but that is not very likely. They will remain a pain in the ass to play against as they have a tendency to do at this time of the year...every year. Just look at last night's loss to the Sharks: they outshot San Jose and barely lost that game. That was the Sharks.
Reports out of Canucks' practice on Friday were that Alain Vigneault had shuffled his lines, putting Pavol Demitra on the 3rd line with Kyle Wellwood and Steve Bernier and Mason Raymond with Mats Sundin and Ryan Kesler. Speculation is that AV was not happy with the RPM line's defensive play. Neither was I, actually. Terrible.
But has Demitra been all that bad? I thought Sundin was a bigger defensive liabilty than Demitra. I suppose it helps that Sundin is a natural center and Demitra isn't, so Demitra would get the demotion. Yet, it is not a lock that AV will go with those lines against the Oilers.
How will the Canucks respond emotionally, not only after clinching a playoff spot in a shootout loss to the Ducks, but also with the tragic events surrounding their buddy Taylor Pyatt?

Oilers are done, its impossible for them, cause Minny is still in front to them with a game in hand.
Tomorrow the Nucks will roll over ’em. Not that the Oil wont try hard, but they are injured and not playin well. Cakewalk to the tune of 5-2 or so. It will be fun to see who there 7mil checking center plays against.

I'm trying to get excited about the prospects of ending Edmonton's season,
especially after last year when they ended ours. But I just can’t bring myself to it. That organization is a disgusting mess (albeit, from my very limited view) and there are drastic changes that ought to be made. The sad truth is though, that is problems have not simply appeared out of nowhere. They have been there for three full seasons now.

can't remember for last year, but definitely 2006
i watched that hockey night in 2006. canucks and oilers, 2nd-last gameof the season for each that evening. edmonton won theirs, canucks lost, which put a 3-point difference between 8th place oilers and 9th place canucks, with one game left for vancouver.
that was also the year when edmonton ran for the cup.
i watched that canucks loss, it was really disappointing.
by missy on Apr 4, 2009 11:06 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
they sure did, the bastards
But that team is a shamble. Look at some of their contracts (taken from a commenter over at Lowetide):
Visnovsky $5.6 MM
Horcoff $5.5
Souray $5.4
Penner $4.25
Hemsky $4.1
Gilbert $4.0
And that doesn’t even include Moreau (whose cap hit is similar to Kesler), Nilson, who makes $2 mill per year., and Fernando Sackball Pisani (2.5 million).

Those guys are taking up a lot of cap space, yes, but how many man-games have been lost by the players on that list alone? Too many. Had they remained more healthy I think the Oilers wouldn’t be in this mess

Said Ethan Moreau:
“I’m a little disappointed why it’s like that, whether it was because of the expectations we put on ourselves at the start of the year, or the personnel, or style of play that we have now as opposed to other years, but it has to change, it’s not healthy,” said captain Ethan Moreau. "There’s way too much negativity. It seems like nothing was really positive all year. It’s tough to play like that when you have that cloud around your head.
“I’m not sure what’s changed … but moving forward we have to find a way to get that positive environment back.”
by Sean Zandberg on Apr 4, 2009 12:14 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
If I’ve read the Edmonton numbers reasonably, then if they run Penner/Horcoff/Hemsky on line 1, all those contracts are worth it.
I think Penner/Horcoff are slight overpays, but not as bad as everyone claims. The management of those three players by McT/Lowe has been atrocious. Blame where the blame belongs.

What is the Canucks’ motivational level going to be tonight? This game may have been better off played at GM Place given the circumstances.
I think that this is where it may be a good thing that AV shuffles the lines (or threatens to). The RPM has failed lately, with Sundin being the biggest culprit. That line, especially Sundin, needs to become that dominating force so that the Sedins and Burrows don’t have to be heroes every night.
At the same time, we know how Demitra hates it when AV shuffles the lines and he does want to play with Mats. This should be interesting.
I hate to say this, but if I was a betting man I’d say the Canucks lose tonight and beat the Avs tomorrow night.
4-3 Oilers. (Don’t beat me with a stick!) haha

Interesting moment in the Bruins/Rags game…Avery slashed Thomas in the back of the mask during a TV time out. Thomas chased him to center ice and started throwing bunches.

When that Swedish reporter from Sportbladet had reported that Sundin signed with the Canucks last summer I posted it at my site. That was a big day. It helps being in the Pacific Time Zone! Swedish papers’ morning headlines come out at about midnight I believe. Good times! Did that guy know something we didn’t way back then?

Well that first minute aside Canucks seem the stronger of the two teams. They’re out shooting them and getting quality chances. They could end up forcing Roloson to be perfect. We’ll see but I like their energy so far.

more stats, this time for disturbing....

still a very slim chance, but odds are not in our favour.
