Anyone familiar with the Cannucks arena?

Is there anywhere good to catch the opposing team coming out after the games? I'll be at the Wings showing tomorrow. i couldn't find out where they're staying or if so. Are the morning skates public? I need to get my Zetty jersey auto'ed

Out back by the garage is always a good spot to try and camp out. If you're lucky they'll park the bus outside and you may be able to get the whole team. Of course, if it's cold they'll likely park it inside, in which case there will probably not be any access.

Good luck!

I miss GM Pla Rogers Place. Lots of good memories there.

Dont know which hotel they stay at, but i went once and hounded the Flames at Gm place last spring, and got lucky, snagging Iginla's auto.

Go to Gate 9 at Rogers Arena 2-3 hours before each game. There you will see a group of about 10 people. You will see Canuck players driving in, such as Luongo, Edler, Raymond, kesler, etc. Some players will take cabs, and the "Cab players" will usually sign. Although they are usually not stars...players such as Andrew Raycroft (who signed at the flames game, Evan Oberg, etc.)
Remember!: stand at gate 9, behind the metal gate! And remember to get a spot early! Or else everyone will have gotten there before you, and you will missed your chance completely. Not many players will sign, but hopefully a few will make the effort.

PM me if you have any more questions.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip, at the Joe, the opposing team bus is right on the sidewalk by the river. The only opposing players I've wanted autos from there were usually guys who don't sign a lot and its dang cold staning out there.

I went, but their bus was close to the arena and they has the gate out near the road. No players came out, just waved. I saw the bus in front of me when leaving, but didn't stalk it to the hotel or airport.

hope u had a blast at the game!

Yeah, thanks, it was a helluva game. My friend got in a fight with his wife at the last minute and couldn't go. I went to the Edgewater and won $275 on blackjack in about 45 min and that covered all the expenses.
