No way the NHl could have foretold this one when making the schedule but it's pretty awesome!
Tonight Colorado actually plays St Louis in game 82. It is down to these two teams for the final wildcard spot in the west and only one point separate them.
Winner goes to the playoffs, loser goes golfing...

Was thinking the same thing as I was looking at the schedule/standings this morning. After 82 it all boils down to one. Kinda pullin for the Av's in this one.

The Avs have been through a ton of turmoil the last couple of years. I always liked Sakic as a player and would hate for his legacy to be tarnished because of problems as an executive. getting into the playoffs this year wont exactly redeem him but would at least nullify a lot of the negativity surrounding him. |

Sakic took a ton of heat for how he handled the Duchene deal. Give him credit...stuck to his guns and got good value IMO.

I'm sitting on the fence as to who I want to see win but yes, I have a soft spot for Sakic. Best player I saw, far and away, when I did local cable coverage of Junior.

I never disliked the Avs and I always respected Joe Sakic. He was a really good player and he's trying to get the Avs to be a winner. I too would like them to make the Playoffs just for him. I've disliked the Blues for 18 years and I would love to see them not make the playoffs, even more so for Joe.

i am pulling for blues. lot of long suffering fans. th avs have had thier days Unlike you, I can't pull for the Blues. I have lived in the Western Conference area my entire life and in 2000 I developed an intense dislike of the Blues, so I am always happy when they lose out. Its a team thing. |
