WHAT’S ONLINE AT PROVINCESPORTS.COM!
First place. And either extending history . . . or putting a stop to it. There’s lots on the line this afternoon for the most must-see of the must-see games, when the Canucks meet the Red Wings in Detroit.
And Province Sports will get you ready. This morning, Ed Willes serves up the Hat Trick — three things to think about going into the big tilt — at our White Towel blog at
thewhitetowel.ca. Then, at 12:30 p.m. on our Canucks live chat — at
theprovince.com/canucks —Tony Gallagher joins you, the reader and hockey lover, to talk about what’s at stake. Gord Mcintyre, in Detroit, will have the game day preview by early afternoon at provincesports.com — and you can follow Mcintyre on Twitter: @gmacsports.
Is Mason Raymond feeling the heat — particularly with the trade deadline four days away? He might well be. And at
thewhitetowel.ca, Jason Botchford writes that Raymond’s shortcomings are outnumbering the benefits he brings to the Canucks. And while he didn’t cost the Canucks a win in Nashville, he didn’t help matters.
Meanwhile, the members of the Legion of Blog have lots to say postPredators — and looking ahead to today’s game. J. Bowman, for one, has“canucks/predators Post-game Quotes (I Wish Were Real)”and“nhl Casting Call: Nashville Predators.” Hmmm, did you know that Jordin Tootoo looks like kd lang? Uncanny! Much more at theprovince.com/ legionofblog or provincesports. com/blogs.
Paul Chapman returns today to the Province Sports podcast. After an absence of one week, Chappy sits down with sports editor Jonathan Mcdonald to talk sports, sports and pop culture.
You can find the new podcast this afternoon at theprovince.net/
podcast or on Itunes. While there, check out Wednesday’s version — where hockey writer Jim Jamieson talked about the most under-rated Canuck of all time (Geoff Courtnall) and the most over-rated (Esa Tikkanen).
