Flames, Canucks renew rivalry in Vancouver

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Both the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks could use a little boost right about now, and they will probably get one Saturday -- by playing against each other.

The clubs will resume their re-festering rivalry as the Flames (29-26-3) visit the Canucks (25-27-6) at Rogers Arena. The rivalry was, arguably, more intense several years when both clubs were in their heydays while relying on established veterans instead of trying to get stronger with young players.

But motivation should not be an issue.

"I think it's a good (rivalry)," said Flames captain Mark Giordano earlier in the season.
