A GOLDEN OPPURTUNITY FOR THE CANUCKS

This afternoon, the Vancouver Canucks moved one step closer to their first Stanley Cup final since 1994 with a 4-2 victory over San Jose at the Shark Tank. Tuesday night, the Canucks can close out the Sharks at home, with what should be a huge crowd that will be on "go", especially considering that over 5,000 fans made the trek to northern California for this afternoon's game, so the Shark Tank sounded like a small version of Rogers Arena. I was quite surprised to hear that the Shark tank did NOT sell out for today's game, given that it was game 4 of the Western Conference final, and the Sharks usually draw well. I realize that the game began at high noon local time, but that is no excuse for a relatively poor attendance for such an important game.

The Canucks Tuesday night can make history before a crowd that will undoubtedly be holding signs saying "Can't Beat Canucks, and other, similar sayings. The Canucks should take Game five as a golden oppurtunity to make a statement, because this is a golden oppurtunity to win the cup, since the B's-Bolts Eastern final is almost certainly going seven. So, it beehoves them to close out the Sharks as quickly as possble.
