Well things are really heating up in the West.

From third to ninth there is only five points seperating them. The Oilers have won 5 in a row and Salo is the hottest player in the league right now with 4 goals in his last 5 games. Vancover has also picked up their game with 6 wins in their last 8.

This is the best race in the last few years IMO.

I do think the two teams left out will be Van and Dallas. Edmonton have been in a playoff race for 5 staright years they are used to the preesure.

While the east isnt as clogged it still looks to be a good race.

I really hope Montreal makes it since they have so much bad luck. I would love to see Montreal fans get to see a playoff game. Saku is on his way back as well as Audette. They would make a tough first round team.
