Well, maybe, maybe not. The Canucks are not in the strongest division, and the ARE playing remarkably well, even clean hockey. If they can keep playing their game, and keep some distance between themselves and the other teams in the division, they're in the playoffs come spring.
Now, in the playoffs it may come down to goaltending, gawd knows it has in the past. But don't forget, the Flames won the cup in 89 with Mike grab-me-a-beer-and-I'll-pretend-I'm-for-real Vernon, quite possibly the most mediochre goalie in NHL history. Alas, they also had Terry Crisp and one of the biggest and strongest teams in the league at the time, so Mikey got off lucky.
Maybe the Canucks can take a page from that book.
Or, they could buy a goalie.
Either way, I can't slag them too hard when I look at the record.
Good luck Ace,
Peace,
