Most hockey experts calling this the battle of the best 2 teams in the Pacific.

2 of the best teams, nobody is calling any team in the Pacific the best, kinda of the way it works in a close race. Any hockey "expert" that says these are the 2 best teams likely does the regional coverage lol. As of this moment, these teams are ranked 2nd and 4th in the division.

If this keeps up, there will be an all Canadian match-up in the playoffs for sure!

Ya we've all but left Cali in the dust.

Ovechkin has 207 goals to go to catch Gretzky, I'm starting to think he can do it! he's 34 and needs 6 seasons in the 30 - 40 goal range. Will Ovie be playing still at 40?

HomeInMyShoes · #**808** Posted **Jan 17, 2020, 6:33 PM**

I don't think he makes it. But he's number one on my list of best goal scorers ever in the NHL.

This one snuck up on me and is equally impressive. Partick Marleau is now #5 for games played and only 65 games behind Gordie Howe. If he can find a way to paly one more season he would become the all time leader.

I'm sure there are plenty of us, I just keep my hockey discussions to different locales.

This forum is for skyscrapers and discussing the many merits of Okotoks.

Big and strong enough... I'd say yup.

Oilers back in first.....until tonight lol.

I'm loving the parity in the NHL these days....Every shift counts!

Good call. Canucks are in first place in the Pacific. Quinn Hughes is unimaginably good. Rookie.

Ya sick. Amazing we're first in the division at the all star break.
No one thought it was possible to be above all these higher ranked teams at this time.

Coldrsx · #**817** Posted **Jan 19, 2020, 2:54 PM**

We are more of a last 20 game team...

Rollerstud98 · #**818** Posted **Jan 19, 2020, 6:45 PM**

I was hoping Canucks would lose in ot so we would have a 5 way log jam at 57 points.

Calgarian · #**819** Posted **Jan 20, 2020, 4:40 PM**

Flames better find a way to put the puck in the net, the difference in goal scoring compared to this time last year is quite surprising, lots of players on pace to half their point totals from last year...

And then he goes and scores another three just to make me doubt myself.
