VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Remember this date -- June 13th. It could be the day the Vancouver Canucks win their first Stanley Cup. With Game 6 tonight in Boston and Vancouver up three-games-to-two, fans want a win and they want it badly.
We found a man who calls himself Jesse Canuck enjoying a Moons Over My Hammy at Denny's on West Broadway early this morning. He'd already started 'liquidly preparing' last night, but wasn't about to call it celebrating. "No, man. It's not the time to be celebrating. It's time to be focused," he slurs over his sandwich. "I don't know if your listeners can notice, but I have a beard. There's one thing about my beard and a glass of water... they aren't just half full!"
If Mr. Canuck (and his Chuck Norris beard) can clear his head for tonight, he can join the huge crowds downtown, there were more than 100,000 Friday, to watch the game on the giant screens and just maybe watch Canucks hoist the Stanley Cup.
Rogers Sportsnet's Doug MacLean predicts a game 7
Fans might not like was Doug MacLean has to say. The Rogers Sportsnet analyst thinks there are many variables but "things will be much different if the Canucks play the way they did at home."
"If they can contain Boston's forecheck with the energy this building is going to have tonight, they have a chance to win," says MacLean, "And Luongo has got to play as well as he does at home. He was brutal [in Boston] but he was terrific in game 5."
But at the end of the game, MacLean expects to be taking another long flight back to Vancouver, where the Canucks will win the cup at home. |
