VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks are paying tribute to the Vancouver Grizzlies tonight at Rogers Arena and hope to accomplish something the NBA team did not do much of during its six-year Vancouver run.
That would be win.
Former Grizzlies star Shareef Abdur-Rahim will drop the puck before tonight's game vs. the Philadelphia Flyers (7 p.m. Pacific, on Sportsnet Pacific, TSN 1040).
Grizzlies Night is part of a season-long celebration of the 20th anniversary of Rogers Arena.
Canucks winger Daniel Sedin said today he and his brother Henrik watched quite a few Grizzlies games during their early years with the Canucks.
