Around The Northwest Division, November 18

Calgary (8-8-3) VS Vancouver (9-8-1)
Let's consider some scenarios here, shall we?  Let's say Calgary wins tonight in regulation.  That would give them 21 points and move them just two behind the Avalanche.  Considering they were eight points behind the Avs a week ago, that's not a good sign.  On the flip side, if the Canucks win in regulation against the Flame-Outs, they too would be just two points behind the Avs.  Also bad.  Which would be more favorable?  Well, since it's Calgary we're talking about, let's go with the 'Nucks in this one.  Reluctantly, of course.
[Final score: Vancouver 4, Calgary 1]
