Pre-Game Talk: The Unsustainabowl: Canucks vs. Bolts, Tuesday

[VanJack]

For some reason, the first period of the Canucks first road-game on a long swing, is always a bit of adventure. Don't know if it's jet-lag; the time differential; or whatever. But survival in the opening 20 minutes will be first order of business. And if you're chasing the puck as they often do, don't stick-check and take penalties. That Tamp pp is almost as lethal as the Canucks'.

The 7 teams that TB has faced in their 7 game win streak: Fla, Mtl, Det, Buf, Mtl, Ott, Car. (2 WC teams, 5 non-playoff teams)
The 7 teams that Van has faced in their 7 game win streak: VGK, Pit, Edm, Lak, Cgy, Chi, NYR (1st in Div, 2nd in Div, 2 WC teams, 3 non-playoff teams)

That's very interesting. Thanks for the analysis.
