With the Philadelphia Flyers in town tonight the Canucks face an opponent that they haven't beaten at home since 1989. Yep, that's 1989. The Year Trevor Linden broke into the league. Have to say that the 'Nucks are kind of due.
Keys to the game:
Jump on the Flyers defence early. Without Chris Pronger logging a ton of minutes I think the Flyers D-corps is susceptible to sustained pressure from a fast, puck-possession team like Vancouver.
Quick Start. Philly hasn't played in 8 days, so they might be a little game rusty. They flew into Vancouver a day earlier than normal to practice and get acclimatized to the time zone. Hopefully this means they are quite into the game right off the bat.
Both teams have been playing well lately (Philly 7-2-1, Van 7-1-2).
This game is on national tv so I can't wait to see my Canucks take on one of the teams I hate the most.
