We've been hot and making up some points, but the Hawks still have 5 points on us with 18 games left each. For many, just seeing this team within weeks of making the playoffs is more than they hoped for back in September, but 4th place in the Conference seems like an attainable goal at this point. Of course, being the Canucks, they are also capable of dropping a few games and looking for a 'mathematical probability' on the last day of the season.
Can we keep playing without sustaining big injuries?
Is Luongo peaking at just the right time? Did the injury layoff do him good?
What do you think will make or break the remainder of the season?
Does it matter if we start with home ice for the first series?
Both teams have decent schedules that have them playing at home for a majority of their games. The Hawks still face San Jose and Detroit and have 4 back to back pairings.
