Don’t be surprised if your local Canucks fan starts getting a little hot around the collar tonight–this evening at Rogers Arena, Vancouver’s favorite citizens are going up against the Calgary Flames.
With a great run last year that stopped juuuuuuuust shy of a Stanley Cup win (curse you, Boston!), the Canucks are performing better than they have in years. That’s no reason to get cocky, though: the Flames have put together a great team, and the only thing fans can predict with any certainty is that tonight’s game will see some great hockey played.
Pre-season games like this are a great way to catch Canucks hockey at a surprisingly affordable price. We’ve got tickets starting at $29–give us a call at 1-800-480-SHOW and get ready for some hockey tonight!

'94 Vancouver Canucks Reminisce
It seems appropriate that as the Vancouver Canucks make their run for the Stanley Cup – they haven’t gotten this far since 1994 – that those same 1994 teammates are getting together for a trip down memory lane.
The team that made it to the 1994 Stanley Cup Final will be having a reunion tomorrow at the River Rock Casino in Richmond. From 2 pm to 5 pm the ’94 Canucks will be in the lobby area signing autographs and reminiscing about their own run for the cup. This is a free all ages event that includes prizes and photographs.
You’ll have the chance to meet Kirk McLean, Murray Craven, Dana Murzyn, Jeff Brown, Marty Gelinas and Gerald Diduck!
The current Vancouver Canucks play in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the San Jose Sharks today at 12 pm PDT in San Jose.

San Jose Sharks Fans Running Scared
With the Vancouver Canucks taking the lead in the Western Conference Final – and in the last game blowing their opponents away with a 7-2 win – the San Jose Sharks fans are wondering what happened to the team that kicked the Detroit Red Wings in a gutsy Game 7 win.
The team simply imploded last game, after the fight between Kevin Bieksa and Patrick Marleau halted their energy. Trailing 3-2 in the last period, the Sharks gave away four goals in the last nine minutes of the game. They just gave up.
Now heading to home ice, the Sharks will need to come out fighting if they want to prevent the Canucks from taking a 3-0 lead. The Sharks have lost five of their six last games since taking a 3-0 against Detroit.
With both teams down key players, Canucks losing Mikael Samuelsson to injuries and Sharks down Jason Demers, both teams are going to need an extra push tonight.
So what are your predictions for tonight’s game? Puck drops at 6 pm in San Jose.
Bieksa: Vancouver's Golden Boy
After a game like last night’s there’s only one name on the lips of Vancouverites: Kevin Bieksa. He cleaned up against the San Jose Sharks in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
In the middle of the second period with the score tied 2-2, Bieksa put the Canucks back in the lead. A few minutes later he thumped Patrick Marleau in a gloves-off brawl. Marleau dropped gloves first, a fact that the bitter Sharks players are currently overlooking.
This was the momentum the team needed to go on and score three more goals.
It was a Gordie Howe hat trick extraordinaire for Bieksa– goal, assist, fight – when he scored on an assist with Chris Higgins in the third period.
The final score was 7-2.
Game 3 happens Friday, May 20th at 6 pm in San Jose.
