Public Enemy No. 1
The Vancouver Canucks visit the Colorado Avalanche tonight for their first time since the Bertuzzi/Moore incident. The Avalanche will be hell-bent on revenge, not because of Bertuzzi's hit on Moore, but because they lost 5-4 to the same Canucks on Saturday night. When asked about the atmosphere surrounding games against the Canucks, Avs captain Joe Sakic said:
I hope not, and to be sure, Colin Campbell and company will be in attendance for tonight's and Saturday's game. Me, I'll be in attendance at Mahoney's on Robson St. to watch the game.
Colorado fans, on the other hand, are a different story. To them, Bertuzzi is public enemy no. 1 and many are still angry over his hit:We're not concerned about it. The fans will be into it, but as players, we're just trying to win a hockey game. That's what our focus is going to be on. We have a great rivalry here with Vancouver. They've got a great hockey team. Our goal is just to try and win the hockey game.
Bertuzzi is a thug and he should be treated like one. He was allowed to come back too soon.One Avs fan was candid enough as to the type of hostile reception Bertuzzi should expect:
You're going to have fans throwing stuff at him. They're going to be spitting on him when he comes out.Do I hear bounty?
I hope not, and to be sure, Colin Campbell and company will be in attendance for tonight's and Saturday's game. Me, I'll be in attendance at Mahoney's on Robson St. to watch the game.
