| Vancouver Canucks | 1 | 0 | 2 | 3 |
Canucks GM Mike Gillis tore into the way the media, notably from Toronto, have attacked his team over the last few months. As Canucks fans we're used to this, but maybe it's time to stop buying into narratives the team regularly proves untrue.
The Vancouver Canucks wasted very little time in showing why they are the second best team in the Western Conference tonight as David Booth scored on a very beautiful backhand just 13 seconds into...
The Avalanche have earned points in their past four games and are looking for more against familiar foe Vancouver.
The playoffs must be getting close, because the sniping has begun. Debunked narratives about the Canucks are popping up again, making Embrace The Hate even more vital...
The Avalanche continue their uphill climb towards the playoffs tonight with big match up against division leading Canucks.
So it's kind of the same scenario for this game: The Canucks are trying to keep pace with the Dead Wings and their opponent is craving every point to get into / stay in the playoff race.
