from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
...You might question the overall mobility of Vancouver’s blue-line corps, but certainly not its depth. When you have a talented player such as Kevin Bieksa slotted in recent games as your fifth defenseman behind the Willie Mitchell-Sami Salo and Mattias Ohlund-Alexander Edler pairings, you know it’s a decent group.
Outstanding in goal, solid on defense and now balanced offensively up front. Anyone like this team’s odds?
“Once you’re in the playoffs, I think anything is possible for any team that’s in there,” Vigneault said. “It’s a matter of getting on a roll at the right time and getting your players to believe in themselves.
“Right now, our guys are feeling pretty good about their game and pretty good about their teammates.”
