6 points with 4 teams ahead in the current system is a huge gap. It’s Gary’s illusion of parody at work.
If Calgary or Vancouver get 25 points (which is very likely) then the Ducks will need 31 in the final 23 games. That’s like 15-7-1.. which is the same pace as the Jets, Stars, Capitals and Knights…
Realistically one of those 4 teams ahead of the ducks is going to get hot down the stretch.

Yeah I'm not expecting them to make it, but they are in the mix enough to be mentioned. It's our first time playing meaningful games in March in years, let us have it.
FWIW, the moneypuck playoff odds model has those teams with the following chances of making playoffs
Vancouver 36.5%
Calgary 34%
St Louis 23.2%
Utah 19.9%
Anaheim 5%
Seattle 0.1% and everyone else below at 0
I forgot it was fun to cheer for your team in March. Unlikely but this is great. Massive game tonight.

Vancouver will just barely make it and there will be tons of handwringing and articles written about how they've turned a corner and saved a disaster season and Tocchet has everything back on track.
They will then lose to Winnipeg in 5 games with Pettersson putting up a 0-0-0 stat line

Vancouver is the Tochett special
Top 5 defense
Bottom 5 offense
Scoring more than two goals is like pulling teeth

As a Canuck fan, I could really care less as this year has been a shitshow with all the injuries and drama. I am hoping with the last 20 games EP40 shows some life and Hughes and Demmer get healthy. At the deadline, I am hoping to management looks to the future (no rentals) and trades our upcoming UFA's. Look to next year where we "possibly" could have a couple of impact rookies hit the line-up. The Canucks future prognosis lies in EP40 hands as we need him (I believe he will) to be the #1 center he is capable of. EP40 has recently recognizes and owned his bad play, it will be interesting to see the last 20 games. If we make playoffs its good and if we miss its good lol.
