Who's gonna win the Northwest Division title?

Nucks vs. Oil a doozy in the making?
I'm seriously looking forward to the upcoming Vancouver Edmonton tilt tonight. Last time these two teams met it was literally the most entertaining game of the season. Lots of fireworks, line brawls, and a playoff-esque level of intensity during that magical game. Even Naslund and Hemsky were throwing hits.
The rivalry should be renewed especially with Edmonton on a tear as of late winning their last 10 of 12 grasping at the hope of the final playoff spot. It should be a doozy. I expect a great game with both teams facing off against each other twice over the next week.
It's a long weekend guys... entertain me.
As a reminder... here's the end of last game:

"The last meeting between the clubs, Feb. 16 on Hockey Night in Canada, was a fight-filled affair with nearly 200 penalty minutes."

Alexander the Great hits the century mark... 60 goals around the corner
Ovechkin continues on a tear. 58 goals and 102 points.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll be seeing our first 60 goal scorer since Mario Lemieux of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1995-1996 season with 69 goals. That's quite a feat in this day's version of the NHL. Bure came close in 2000-01 and the Cheechoo train had 56 in 05-06 playing like everyday was christmas day with a freshly acquired Joe Thornton serving him up gift after gift. Needless to say he rode that year to a long term contract, but i digress.
An assist and an empty netter makes him the Art Ross leader, and a definite hart trophy candidate leading his team to within 2 points of 8th place in the eastern conference. It's great to see a pure goal scorer with the passion that Ovechkin brings to the game. There's no doubt we'll be seeing legions of kids wearing red #8 jerseys for years to come.
