Home sweet home? Road Sweet Road? The Canucks played 9 road games in March and won every single one of them. A franchise record. They are 3-2 at home in March and now face a Kings team that is missing it's top 2 scorers in Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams. Sans Kopitar they have won 3 straight as other players are stepping up. Good depth up front in LA.
The Canucks continued their late surging ways against the Preds and won. I keep wondering what could possibly motivate them to
keep up this torrid winning pace. Well, clinching the West was one of them. Consider that done. Now it comes down to personal goals (go Dank go!!) and staying sharp going into the playoffs. If there was animosity between the Canucks and Preds there should be even more against the Kings who we ousted in the playoffs last spring. That hate still lives. This game is going to be tough. The Kings have a more - important reason to be motivated and not let up one bit: 3 points behind the Pacific Division-leading Sharks and pursuit of home ice advantage in the playoffs. They are only 4 points up on 8th place Chicago.
