    And in a game that meant nothing to them but pride, the Oilers eliminate the Vancouver Canucks from playoff contention.

    I suspect Ben wasn't going to be saying "Go Oilers!" tonight.

    Looking forward to next season, hopefully they can keep the kids together.

      It's going to be an interesting offseason.

        And the Preds make it in.

        Now if we manage not to get swept in the first round, I'll consider it a successful season, considering all of what happened last offseason.

          Well all the permutations in the west are done-- well except for positioning-- I see the Flames can be anywhere from 6th to 8th


          The East is still pretty wild-- Despite their win, Ottawa could still miss the playoffs-- The washington story rivals the Oilers for their crazy run-- I actually ope the capitals make it-- Wouldn't a Montral- Washington series be WILD if Huet was ther Caps starter

            GO OILERS!!! Nice work!

            BEN! Where did you go! This is a far cry from your proclamation that 1st in the NW was the Canuck's "rightful place", they couldn't even make the playoffs.

            As for the Flames, we've got a 1-way ticket to first round elimination at the hands of SJ or DET (provided this team can't find another gear...)

              BTW, the Canucks and Oilers have now missed the playoffs 2 of the last 3 seasons.

              Is Calgary the only real Western Canadian Team?

                Well the Canucks have a ways to go to match Calgary's impressive streak of seven straight seasons out of the playoffs a few years back, but yeah, right now they're hurting. I thought Naslund and Morrison had another year left on their contracts but I've since discovered that they're up after this season. Hopefully something good will come of that.

                  Vancouver's streak of Cupless seasons is even more impressive though.

                      The only question right now, is not whether they will rebuild but what they will do rebuilding.

                        Don't worry about the bet, I don't think it was that official.

                          Just what Luongo wanted, to be on another rebuilding team

                            Meh, I don't see big time rebuilding from the Canucks. Morrison missed most of the year anyway, so if he goes anywhere it's not going to make much difference to the makeup of the team. Luongo, the Sedins, Mitchell, Salo, Edler, Bieksa, Pyatt and Kesler are all still under contract and not likely to go anywhere. The only significant question mark is Naslund.

                            Edit: My bad, Ohlund is under contract as well.

                              You should replace Naslund with Linden and Bure.

                                Calgary is the envy of the West. The Flames have a brilliant GM and a proven coach. They have a Vezina Goalie, a Rocket Richard forward, a Norris in waiting on the back end, and several other useful players. Now they've locked them all up long term. That was a bit expensive, but most likely well worth it.

                                Flames fans can now look forward to years of the same sort of high level performances.
