The Vancouver Canucks entered Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday looking to take a bite out of the San Jose Sharks and grab ahold of first place in the Pacific Division. After all, it’s the orca whale, not the great white shark that serves as the ocean’s top predator. Would the killer whale reign victorious on the ice?
It was a division match-up that would be Vancouver’s last contest before a 9-day break for All-Star weekend. Led by team captain Bo Horvat, the orca pod hit the ice at Rogers Arena with full intentions of putting forward a great team effort and ultimately find a way to win.
