DENVER — If the Vancouver Canucks needed inspiration this morning, they only had to look outside the Pepsi Center.
The streets of downtown Denver were a sea of orange as residents of the Mile High City gathered for a parade honouring their Super Bowl-winning Denver Broncos.
The Canucks are under no illusions about a parade of their own this spring. Instead, they are clinging to their belief — against increasing odds — that they can be a playoff team.
A win tonight against the Colorado Avalanche (6 p.m. Pacific time, on Sportsnet, TSN 1040) seems vital.
