I wonder if Wardo will buy me dinner tomorrow night...

Unbelievable.

It was likely David Pratt, Bro Jake, Matt Sekeres or Blake Price on TSN 1040. They are the biggest Vancouver homers. I listen to them at work all the time just for a laugh.

I just can't understand how anyone could watch the last 2 games and think that Vancouver has had any edge at all.

[Delthefunky]

I expect the Canucks rink to be pretty quiet tomorrow... Hopefully that can work for us. Maybe we can even turn the fans against them with an early goal or two!.

[keratosis]

Probably mostly red shirts tomorrow anyway. It'll be like a home game.

Don't forget the Canucks have towel power.

Man. Just spend a few minutes in the PGT at HF Canucks.

The power of surrender!

It's taken the Canucks their last 18 playoff games to win as many as they need to win this series.

I like checking out the game highlights on the Canucks youtube channel. the butthurt is strong in the comment sections. they're throwing everyone under the bus from the coach to their own kids. they think Miller is the saviour now. many are already giving up and calling the team a joke. I know it would seem grim from a Flames perspective but I wouldn't be throwing in the towel at 1-3.

they think it'll be loud thursday... I think one Flames goal early and you'll hear a pin drop. thats how brittle the fan base is. all this being said it's dangerous to get cocky and we can't. the Canucks won't let closing out the series in Vancouver happen easily. they'll pull out all the stops and stoop to new lows if they have to.

[keratosis]

That's their trademark though.
How low can they go?

Unbelievable.

Honestly, that's ridiculous. Are there any Canucks that you would trade straight up at this point for their comparable in the Flames line-up? Hamhuis/Elder for Engelland seems like the obvious choice, but beyond that it's pretty much a wash.

[keratosis]

I'd take Horvat for the Canucks second round pick.

Great journalism from the Canadian Press via TSN.

Hudler won a Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2008 and teammate Brandon Bollig with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2013. Hudler centres Calgary's top line with Gaudreau and Sean Monahan on his wings.

But someone sacrificed themselves to save you from the pubes, so that the Oilers could win in regulation vs LA!

[howard_the_duck]

Loubardias sort of inexplicably coming to the aid of the Canucks on the FAN right now. Is he always this critical of the Flames?
