CHB Contest: Win Game Two Canucks Playoff Tickets!

Last season’s run to the Stanley Cup Final outlined a number of different players who’s performance dictated the success of the team. Alex Burrows against the Blackhawks. Ryan Kesler against the Predators. Or Kevin Bieksa against the Sharks. We could even say that Luongo’s performance against the Bruins was a difference maker as he shut out the Bruins twice in the Stanley Cup Finals. We discover every playoff series that a player stands out from the rest.

So as we watch the puck drop today in the Western Conference Quarterfinal, who will it be this go-round?

Great Save Luongo

In a series where the first goal may dictate the games winner, my money is on the play of Roberto Luongo. While the Kings were ranked 29th in goals for over the season, they were ranked 2nd in goals against – and we’ve all seen that the Canucks have been more focused on the process than they were on offense. And when you mix a little Vigneault with a little Sutter, you’ve got yourself the recipe for a war of attrition.

So who do you think the “difference maker” will be for the Canucks?

If you tell us, we and our friends at the Rosedale on Robson have a pair of Game Two playoff tickets to give away.

To enter:

  • For one entry: In the comments section of this post, tell us which Canucks player you think will be the difference maker in this series. (Make sure you enter your email address when you log-in so we can contact you if you win.)

  • For a bonus entry – Tweet the following:

I entered and RT to win Game 2 #Canucks playoff tickets from @canuckshockey @RosedaleRobson & @lyteforce nucks.co/1Y #CHB

You have until 3:00 PM on Thursday, April 12th to enter. Once the contest closes, we will randomly pick one lucky entrant who will become the proud owner of a pair of upper bowl tickets to Game Two on Friday, donated by our friends at the Rosedale on Robson. You must be able to pick the tickets from the Rosedale on Robson (833 Robson St. at Hamilton) prior to puck drop.

What are you waiting for?

    Burrows.  He’s always got a stick on the puck… and he’s a genuine player.

    I think Alex Burrows is going to be the difference maker! Gooooo Burrows! 

  • kaityg

    It’s so hard to choose, there’s too many! Umm, I think it will be the Captain Henk Sedin! He seems to have found his game again and delivers those sweet passes to everyone else to score. 

  • Alamour

    Chris Higgins for sure

  • Irene Libby

    Schnieder if he’s playin’ :D

  • Roberta

    Burrows will be leading the charge.

  • Anaz Gamadia

    Booth’s been making himself quite noticeable the last few games, so I’m expecting a similar performance from him in the first round.  Hopefully Kesler will make a bit of a comeback, but I’m thinking Luongo’s gonna be the real difference this series.

    Luongo is going to make or break the entire series

  • Canucklehead800

    David Booth. He’s pumped up for his first ever playoff series in his career. His fearless style of play where he attacks the net as a power forward makes him the X factor in this series.
    Go Canucks go!

    Kesler

  • Marli

    I think Marc-Andre Gragnani will make a difference in this playoff season! Although he doesn’t have a ton of experience he;s strong and young and so far seems like a good team player. 

  • Candice

    Hendrik

  • Elena W

    Ryan Kesler. Fingers crossed! xx

  • Fartlek1

    Ryan Kesler #17 will be the difference maker.

    I’d have to say Ryan Kesler! Let’s go nucks!

  • doughboyy

    David Booth

  • ShawnaVanCity

    I think Dan Hamhuis and Kevin Bieksa could be the difference makers. We need strong defense with experience. Hopefully they can pull a few nice slap shot goals too!

  • Andrew F

    Dan Hamhuis is so solid.  He will be the unsung hero of every game.
