You couldn’t script a better night. In a vacuum, the game was spectacular. Carried by the future, the Vancouver Canucks had no problems dispatching the Edmonton Oilers. It feels good to say that again.
But something different put this game over the top. In arguably the single best game of the season, we saw Canucks Twitter take centre stage. The 4-2 on the scoreboard does not tell the whole story. Two divisional combatants, whose fanbases have a fun history of discontent towards the other.
You don’t dip your toe when you encounter Canucks Twitter. You get pulled right in.
