The magnificent double rainbow appeared over Rogers Arena shortly after Alex Burrows scored the first of his two goals, and as it turns out, a colorful display heralded the important night for the home team.
With the win, Vancouver won the top seven NHL Western Conference quarterfinal 4-3 and advance to the next round against Nashville.
The Canucks also carried out after the first overall in the league and was named the 03/01 favorites to win the Stanley Cup.
A longtime admirer of mark Brent Kusper said before the game that the ghosts of past playoffs were hiding, but he predicted that the Canucks would have to drive them. As it turned out he was right.
"Tonight," Canucks "will put a lot of ghosts behind them," he said. "After 40 years of suffering, I think we will bury them. If not, then I would not have spent several hundred dollars for these tickets."
Katrina Gorry, his face covered in blue and green, kept her eyes on the uneven play in recent games star goalie Roberto Luongo.
"I think he will be nervous. It makes me nervous," said Gorrie, but it can not be worried because Luongo made several excellent saves.
Excitement was building outside the arena before game time at 7 pm
Despite the demand for tickets, a speculator named Mike said he takes the beating.
"There is no room for profit," he said, selling $ 180 seats for just $ 200. "Tickets are too high a price."
He said a high of $ 450 seats did not sell outside the arena, because they are too expensive.
At stake was a result of millions of dollars in revenue for dozens of hockey-related businesses.
An estimated $ 3 million changes hands at each date, including game tickets, concessions, restaurant meals and beverages, hotels, and travel.
"We're going to see Chicago lose!" Boom speaker on the speakerphone to the sounds of heavy drums.
Nearby, the Canucks fans soaked up the atmosphere before the game, dressed in a sea of blue and green jerseys.
When they landed on the SkyTrain, a half-dozen police officers were there to greet them.
The sounds of loud music boomed through the air, mingled with the smell of fresh cooked hot dogs.
Hundreds lined up to have their faces painted in the colors of the Canucks or swaying to the music.
