still free falling, or on slow comeback??

prefer to think the latter.
28th - 5-3 loss to nashville. had 3-1 lead for a while, then it fell. tried to tie it 4-4 at the end, but they scored instead. very disappointing.
31st - 4-3 overtime loss to minnesota. managed to tie up 3-3 with 15 seconds left. now that was hockey!! unfortunately, danny-boy got another overtime penalty, and the wild scored.

canucks need to get back to work. they've been playing horribly lately, even with luie back. record for january was 2-5-5. disgusting!!! currently on track to break franchise's record for longest losing streak.

standings are getting intense. 5 teams tied for 6th place, and vancouver's right below in 11th.

1.	* San Jose	48	77
2.	* Detroit	49	69
3.	* Calgary	48	64
4.	Chicago	48	62
5.	Anaheim	52	55
6.	Dallas	48	53
7.	Minnesota	49	53
8.	Edmonton	49	53
9.	Columbus	50	53
10.	Phoenix	51	53
11.	Vancouver	50	52
12.	Los Angeles	48	47
13.	Nashville	49	47
14.	Colorado	50	47
15.	St. Louis	48	44

this is obviously bad. nucks need to start winning if they really want to be in the playoffs. this is what critics were predicting in september, and although we were proving them wrong in november, the tide has turned and now we're proving them right. let's prove them wrong again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

next games:
tues. feb 3 vs carolina 7:00pm
sat. feb 7 vs chicago 7:00 pm
tues. feb 10 @ st. louis 5:30 pm
thurs. feb 12 @ phoenix 6:00 pm
fri. feb 13 @ dallas 5:30 pm
15th - 24th: hell week, canadian gauntlet (montreal, calgary, ottawa, toronto, montreal)

obviously, nucks don't have many games this week, so this will screw them over in the standings. they better make use of these points before i lose faith...
