Penguins preparing to 'match energy' of desperate Canucks with 60-minute effort

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- On the drive from the Vancouver airport to my hotel downtown on Wednesday, I passed a pretty funny sign.

It was out front of the nightclub The Penthouse, an establishment apparently just as well-known for its entertainment outside of the building as it is inside.

The sign Wednesday read "CANUCKS DRINK FREE," followed by "(AFTER YOU WIN 1)" on the lower line.

That sign could have been up there for the last two weeks and the joke still would have landed. The Canucks remain the NHL's lone winless team as of Thursday with an 0-5-2 start to the season, a surprising performance given the turnaround this Vancouver team had last season after Bruce Boudreau took over.
