One thing I keeping watching for is that Larkin is almost a 50 pt. guy for the first time - just needs 1 more pt. I remember in a pre-season interview, he was asked what he'd consider a successful bounce-back year and he said getting to 50 points. I'm sure he'll get more than that by the end of the year, but, anyway it'll be a good milestone. So, go Larkin!

One step closer to Dahlin. Z passed Ted Lindsay on all time goals list. Amazing game for me.

Amidst all of the negativity surrounding this team right now Larkin really is a bright spot for me. I love seeing the young guys take a step in the right direction, and his game has really improved this year.

I've been calling Toews overrated for 5 years now and I think the hockey gods are pissed that I exposed their creation for what he is.

Also first try...

Habs as well. That's my dream scenario as long as we get top 3 and draft either Dahlin, Zadina or Svechnikov. I'm a happy camper.

If you’re referring to hoping we win the draft lotto; that only effects the first round. The rest of the rounds go by the standings. So if the sens finish in last but we win the lotto, their second rounder would still be pick 32.

Sad. The Sharts played a terrible game, and we had to out terrible them. A couple of decent performances, but overall disappointing. Not for tanking at all, because that doesn't build character for the youngins. I'd rather watch them play hard every night and lose a tight, well played game. At least it seems a little more honorable than going full on tank.

Depends on how you look at it. I'm not trying to be negative or a smart ass by saying I want them to lose. Virtually the only thing the team is working towards is finishing lower in the rankings to improve their chances of a better pick. I'd rather see us get that #1, even though it's still a stretch.

This team is incapable of dumping the puck in when they get pinched to the boards. It's always a higher risk pass attempt towards the center of the ice. Total uninspired play by Z, and just as uninspiring of Nyquist to stop skating, and let his man get behind him. This whole team deserves a serious bag skate.

That is why Jimmy is bad. Way overplayed that. He was on the ice before Kane even passed. Again! Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy....well at least our draft odds will go up. Jimmy better not be here this time next year.

Duemed.

Montreal are awful and they have very little in the pipeline. If Bergevin stays, I'm not too worried about our "rival" Montreal. I'm not sure even Dahlin can save that team right now. However, I'd much rather Dahlin be in our division, than see him go to Chicago... But that's just me. As of today, there's a 39.1% chance Dahlin ends up in the Atlantic division. So there's a real possibility one of Buffalo, Ottawa, Montreal or Detroit end up with him. Let's hope it's us... As for the trade, I was completely joking. I'd never expect the Canucks to make that trade. But as a Wings fan, yes please...

And that's what makes us the best in the world.
