VANCOUVER — If the Vancouver Canucks fall again tonight against the Calgary Flames (7 p.m. PT, on CBC, TSN 1040), they will become a dubious part of Stanley Cup history by becoming the first team to lose eight straight playoff games on home ice.
So they would be well advised to end the drought, win the game and, more importantly, knot the series at 1-1 before it shifts to Calgary for Games 3 and 4 Sunday and Tuesday.
Canucks right-winger Jannik Hansen, who has been around for all seven of the home losses, isn’t the least bit concerned about the possibility of a negative record.
