It would seem with 10 games remaining after tonight’s game in Minnesota, that the lineup will have to be in place before the playoffs start.

I’ll start with the Smoke and Mirrors analogy because the Canucks are sure not what they are supposed to be. Since the game in Boston on January 7th, some 10 games ago, the Canucks have survived mainly on goaltending and a few players that would make up a line. Six of those games went to [...]
