VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks did something they haven’t in three years: they won an elimination game Thursday against the Calgary Flames. Now, they need to win another.
Actually, they need to win two more elimination games, but that sounds a little daunting, so we’re going to stick with one. That’s the way the Canucks are approaching Game 6 Saturday night in Calgary after beating the Flames 2-1 at Rogers Arena.
“We strongly believe we can win the series, not just make it a long series,” Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis said after setting up Daniel Sedin’s goalmouth game-winner at 1:47 of the third period.
