VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The hype meter is turned down.
Way down.
However, Vancouver coach Travis Green wants the Canucks (13-10-4) to show the same motivation against the Carolina Hurricanes (11-9-5) on Tuesday night as they did Saturday in an inspired win over the Toronto Maple Leafs before a sellout crowd and a national television audience.
"Some nights are big games," Green said after a practice Monday. "Saturday night against the Leafs, you know it's gonna be a big game. It doesn't mean it's not a bigger game for us against Carolina.
