Nucks vs Avs 7pm *PPV*
   GAME: Vancouver Canucks (45-23-6) vs. Colorado Avalanche (38-29-7). A short layoff may help recharge the Vancouver Canucks as they try to regain one of the top three playoff seeds in the Western Conference. The Colorado Avalanche, meanwhile, cannot afford to rest. Vancouver faces off against Colorado at GM Place on Sunday night in the start of a home-and-home series that could have major playoff implications. "For me those two games against Colorado, with the way the schedule seems to be right now, those are probably going to be the two games that will assure us of a playoff spot, or mean that we'll have to keep battling for that official playoff position," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said on the team's official Web site. With 96 points, Vancouver (45-23-6) dropped to second place in the Northwest Division - and into a tie with Dallas and San Jose for fifth in the Western Conference - after Minnesota defeated Los Angeles 4-1 on Saturday. The Canucks, who were idle, have two games in hand on the Wild, whom they will not face again in the regular season. Sunday's matchup, though, is the first of three remaining games between Vancouver and Colorado. The division rivals meet again Tuesday night in Denver before closing out their season series on April 5 in Vancouver. While the Canucks are vying for their second division title in three seasons, the Avalanche face an uphill climb as they try to extend their run of consecutive playoff appearances to 12. Colorado (38-29-7) is in ninth place in the West, five points behind eighth-place Calgary. Both the Avalanche and Flames have eight games remaining, including an April 3 matchup in Calgary. "Colorado still has a chance to be in it and they've been playing really well lately," Vigneault said. "All our games against them this year have been really hard-fought. They've been one of the best offensive teams in the league, even though they're really young, so hopefully we can play well against them and get them out of the equation." The Canucks have won their last two matchups with the Avalanche after being held to just five goals in three losses, all in Denver. Vancouver, which has won its last four home meetings with Colorado, needs one win to match the single-season franchise record set in 1992-93. On Wednesday night, Roberto Luongo stopped 20 shots for his fourth shutout of the season, and made first-period goals by Jan Bulis and Tommi Santala stand up in the Canucks' 2-0 win over West-leading Nashville. "It was a really solid effort by every guy in this locker room tonight. We didn't give them much all night," said Luongo, who hasn't lost at home in regulation since Feb. 7, and has gone 8-0-1 with a 2.07 goals-against average since then. Vancouver's Daniel Sedin has scored one goal in all four games he's played against Colorado this season. He leads the Canucks with 32 goals and 73 points. Twin brother Henrik Sedin is second with 70 points, with five coming against the Avs. Colorado settled for a split of its two-game series in Edmonton after a 4-3 overtime loss on Friday that ended the Oilers' 12-game winless streak. "I thought we played pretty good," Colorado captain Joe Sakic said. "We could have used the two points, with the race we are in, but I guess we'll take the one and move on." Avs left wing Andrew Brunette has a goal and 10 assists during a seven-game point streak. He also leads Colorado in scoring versus Vancouver this season with four goals and six points. Nucks 3-2

The Canucks sounded like they were playing pretty flat since the second period and deserved to lose.
They better play hard on tuesday. We havn't won the division yet and we still havn't clinched a playoff spot which we could have done today.

Got free tickets at the last moment, and they were totally unexpected. I was really hoping for a win. We need some of our better defencemen back. Ohlund, Salo, Mitchell out is no good.
Filo! So random seein you there bud! That was the first game I've been to since around 1993, definately the last this season. Oh well. Lots of goals, very exciting.

Canucks had better get it together tomarrow. We need that 2 point cushion over minnesota. You look at the match ups anyways and its brutal for any team in the west. First place team will either be detroit or nashville. Who do they play in the first round most likely flames or could be colorado. 2nd plays right now mi nnesota. etc every team in the west has it tough come april

^ no doubt I would way rather see Colorado make it than the Flames.
Though Colorado still has to go at like a .900 winning % to make it in to the playoff's. Calgary can do us a favour though tonight if they can beat Minnesota in regulation. If the Canucks win and Calgary wins. Colorado's chances will be very bleak to say the least.

Luongo!! Luongo!! Luongo!!
Salo come back from his injury and scored his first goal in six games (1st. goal of the game). Then two empty net goals from Cooke (19:05) and Sedin (19:27).
3 - 0 SHUT-OUT!! Luongo's 5th shut-out of the season (32nd. career), also second shut-out in three games (Nashville 2 - 0 and tonight Colarado 3 - 0). Also 46 wins in a season tied the franchise record. After tonight's win we are in the playoffs baby!!! 99pts. back on top of the northwest division, stupid Wild are just 1pt. back with 98pts. after getting shut-out by the Flames (92pts.) 1 - 0 tonight. Those were two intense games, Colarado (85pts.) had to win tonight and they messed up. Tonights win was the first time the Canucks won in Denver this season :):):):):) Last edited by Two_Six; Mar 27, 07 at 08:45 PM.

^ haha
p.s: Stim where ya at. This was another must win for the Avs. They didn't even get a goal. Third period was a very good period from a defensive aspect. The second empty net goal was hillarious. Imagine being an avs fan at the game. p.s: Luongo is at 44 wins. Needs 4 more to break the record of 47. He's got 6 games if he plays they all. p.p.s: luongo's 44 wins puts him with a bunch of goalie's for 2nd most wins in a season. One more for 45 to put him 2nd alone.
