The Canucks were nowhere to be found tonight as the Flyers came out flying with the win. Despite the team's lacklustre performance, the Canucks had an exceptional guest in the house, and the fans responded, at least better than the team did.
The team's former captain, Markus Naslund, was in attendance and when the Canucks' acknowledged his presence, he was given a standing ovation, as noted by the journalist who was at the Rogers Arena for the occasion:
Through the 15 seasons he spent in the NHL, Naslund spent 12 seasons with the team, captaining the Canucks on 7 of them.
