The mood I'm seeing is resigned. There's a lot of hope that the Canucks will pull it out, but the Canucks have also let this city down so many times in the past (not just against Chicago) that there almost seems to be this sense of the city steeling itself psychologically for a loss. I just hope it's a good game, I don't want to see another blowout (for either team) like there was in games 4 & 5.

Was this the same writer that tweeted that the score board in Rogers Arena was still displaying the 5 - 0 score from Game 5 when the Canucks came out for their morning skate today? I would expect the Canucks to be tenser than the Hawks, there's a lot more pressure on them give that they entered the playoffs as the Vegas favourites and have blown a 3 - 0 series lead. The Hawks have been playing on borrowed time for so long in this series (from an elimination stand point) that it's easier to be loose about it.
