Enemy territory: On the Forecheck
The Canucks did what they needed to against the bottom-dwelling Alberta teams to snap the losing skid, but that is just the start.

They are currently 8 spots out of a wildcard spot, although still 10 points ahead of the Alberta sluggers.

Tonight's gamethread title is brought to you by Russell Crowe. I caught my mom watching Gladiator this morning, and it seemed appropriate for our current situation.
