Last night I got a call from an excited Shan who was trying to give away the last of four hockey tickets she got from work. I jumped on it and headed towards GM Place to meet everyone.
The Canucks got off to a sluggish start against the New Jersey Devils. By the fourth minute of play New Jersey had scored two goals and LaBarbera (the Canuck’s new backup goalie) had been pulled! At the end of the first period it was 3-0 for the Devils. Vancouver showed some spark throughout the rest of the game, but the three goal deficit was too much to overcome and they handed New Jersey a 5-3 victory.
It was loads of fun to watch. I probably say this because I’m a Calgary fan. I find it hard to root for Vancouver because every year they squeak into the playoffs and then get knocked out. There’s always a big shake up afterwards and a sense of “next year it’ll be different” but it rarely is. I’ll stick with the Flames. Besides, Calgary has way better uniforms!
