lol...love it.

Carol, aren't the Canucks tied for 1st in the Pacific?

Other takeaway from 30 Thoughts:

11. Regular readers of this blog know I keep special track of the standings on Nov. 1.

Starting in 2005-06, only five teams out of 44 have recovered to make the playoffs when at least five points out of the playoffs after games played on that date. Last year’s group went 0-for-4.

This season’s contenders are Anaheim, Colorado, Columbus and Toronto. (Buffalo, Calgary and Edmonton were all within four points of third place in their division.) In the Pacific, Anaheim is your best wager to beat the odds.

PLAYOFFS BABY! WE MADE IT!

We were in a playoff spot on Nov. 1st under Torts. Sorry Marwood.

Fluke, lightning doesnt hit the same spot twice. Based on that, we are good for the next dozen years or so if my math is correct

That "stat" only eliminates teams from making the playoffs, I think the "we made the playoffs" stat is still being in by American Thanksgiving.

I didn't know there was going to be math, nevermind.

I'm going to start adding 'if my math is correct' to a lot more things, its proving quite effective

Torts was under-appreciated by some people...

Torts was touted as a mad genius the first part of the year... up until around the holiday break...

Yup a mad genius that didn't want Dale Weise any where near his team.

There was nothing to appreciate. He had the team playing a boring style of hockey that didn't win games. He also was a d!ck..... what is there to like?

I'm sure CLB is going to continue to improve from their terrible start but I doubt Torts will have much to do with it. Goaltending from Bob was the issue and he has started to turn it around.

Further evidence that Scooby is in fact Torts.

I've never heard Tortz being called a mad genius until today, I kind of thought when he started playing 33 year olds over 20 minutes per game he was pushing towards a label like "dumb" or "Mad"(genius not added). Its a roll four lines league, he's doing the same ish in Columbus and it might go better with younger guys, but he'll burn them out too I'm sure.
