Around The Northwest Division, November 24
Minnesota (11-9-2) VS Nashville (11-8-2) Despite a weak start, the Predators seem to be getting their act together. They've won three of the last five games and have secured a new lease deal for their arena, ending (for now) talks of relocation. The Wild are in the early stages of what will...

Columbus (9-8-4) VS Minnesota (11-8-2) Blue Jackets goalie Pascal Leclaire is a young, puck-stopping stud. Ken Hitchcock has revolutionized the team's defense by emphasizing the hated trap. The Wild are the biggest threat to Colorado in the Northwest division standings, and play a similar...

Chicago (11-8-1) VS Calgary (9-9-3) Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp. The Blackhawks are back, baby! Now let's hope they crush the Flame-Outs tonight. Go 'Hawks! [Final score: Chicago 2, Calgary 1]
Around The Northwest Division, November 21
Vancouver (10-8-2) VS Minnesota (11-7-2) The last time these two teams met (like yesterday or something), there was an elbow, a slash and a broken leg. And regardless of how this game ends up, the Avs will be in a worse position in the division standings. If Vancouver wins, the Avs move down to...

Vancouver (10-8-1) VS Edmonton (7-12-1) You know, there was a time a couple of weeks ago where the Canucks looked like a lost cause. But they beat the Avs and the Wild within five days and now they're back in the Northwest fight. The Oilers, on the other hand, still suck something awful. But not...

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...

Calgary (7-8-3) VS Edmonton (7-11-1) Good god I'm getting tired of this overloaded divisional schedule. I feel like I've written the exact same blurb every single day for a month now. Oilers/Flames, Flames/Wild, Canucks/Oilers, and on and on and on. And it's always the same general theme. If...
Around The Northwest Division, November 16
Minnesota (10-6-2) VS Vancouver (8-8-1) The Canucks need to beat the Wild if the Avs are going to maintain their decreasing lead in the points standings, 'nough said. Go 'Nucks! [Final score: Vancouver 6, Minnesota 2]
Around The Northwest Division, November 15
Minnesota (9-6-2) VS Edmonton (7-10-1) Oh my god when will this divisional overkill end? Sure, the Oilers are fresh off their complete rout of the Canucks last night, but can they hang against a Minnesota Wild team that also sacrifices offensive talent for clutching, grabbing and mindless...
Around The Northwest Division, November 14
Edmonton (6-10-1) VS Vancouver (8-8-0) Wow, what a marquis matchup we have here. I don't think there could be two less exciting teams in the Western Conference than the Oilers and the Canucks. The Canucks suck at home, Edmonton sucks everywhere. Not sure who I'd pick to win this one, so I guess...
