Maybe I'm just old and out of touch but that's probably the last place I'd want to watch a game, whatever happened to just watching at your local boozer?
It's equal opportunity for fans! 14$ Beers, not just for fans who bought tickets anymore.

They are also purposely keeping them out of downtown except at the arena itself. $15 to get in with reduce concession prices. No idea of capacity as they sell out so it is not the entire arena.

Ugh, gross. LoLo people are philistines. Also, why would I hole up in the safety of the mountains of North Van District and then just come off my hill to go to the water front and mingle with the filthy North Van City rubes.

How would New Yorkers be able to hear the game above the din of jackhammers, sirens, horns, diesel idles, and truck backup warning alarms?

Yup, the basement of Chicken On The Way, which is accessible in the kitchen.

Part of me chooses to believe that this is a known mob bar and activestick is just cheekily sending poor eddly in to die.

Draisaitl is a game time decision. With only one line to shutdown, the Oilers are done.

You forgot about the McPP which I think we may get a quadruple order of this evening.

They only play 11 forwards anyway, so they can reserve Draisaitl for the McPP and play the rest of the game with 10.

One thing I have learned through countless playoffs that as much as people and the media want to create a new narrative after every game - the simple fact is the series is not over until its over.

You’re right, Colorado (0-1) and Dallas (0-2) came back.

If the 'Nucks can survive the first 5 minutes tonight, they'll be fine. Also I expect the refs will be looking for any excuse to gift the Oilers multiple McPPs since they didn't get many in game 1. Vancouver will need to be extra disciplined tonight.

And probably 8 to 9 powerplays in total.
