The Vancouver Canucks should all be a bunch of dead guys right now.
They were down 3-0 to start the 3rd period.
The Canucks didn’t even bother pulling their goalie after that.
59 seconds left in regulation.
Aatu Raty finds a little soft spot at the bottom of the circles and buries one.
All of a sudden we have a game back on our hands here.
30 seconds later, Pius Suter is wide open in the slot to make it a 5-4 game.
Now that 5th goal was enough to at least allow the Vancouver Canucks to live to see another day.
They just couldn’t lose in regulation last night.
Kiefer fucking Sherwood would agree.
Now here’s the thing–they’re still pretty much dead.
They are 6 points out of a playoff spot with 4 games to go.
If the Wild win another game, it’s over.
If the Canucks lose another game, it’s over.
Minnesota plays San Jose tonight, and Calgary on Friday night.
Vancouver plays Colorado tomorrow night.
And then we have Minnesota at Vancouver on Saturday night.
Only for Calgary to then jump both of them in the last game of the season.
