Former Flyers Sam Gagner, Michael Del Zotto and the Canucks head into battle tonight against the somewhat floundering Flyers in game 1 of a crucial 6 game Eastern road swing for Vancouver. The Canucks need to come out on top more often than not if they hope to keep pace in the Pacific, and with word that Derek Dorsett has been sent back home with neck and back stiffness, that may be a tougher task. One thing is for sure, the Canucks are going to need Brandon Sutter to step the hell up and play like the ‘foundational’ player that management believe he is.
