Canucks fans boo the 'Star Spangled Banner' once again in Vancouver
A smattering of boo's could be heard to begin the tune.
Vancouver hockey fans have done it again.
A small rumbling of boos could be heard from Canucks fans just prior to the singing of the 'Star Spangled Banner' this evening.
Check it out:
This pales in comparison to the loud booing that took place over the weekend, but it still shows that Canadian hockey fans are proud Canadians first and foremost.
Read below for our earlier report on Canucks captain Quinn Hughes.
This just in, Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet has ruled captain Quinn Hughes out of tonight's game against the Colorado Avalanche. This is the second consecutive game that Hughes has been out of the lineup due to an undisclosed injury.
This is obviously brutal news for the Canucks as Hughes has been one of the most dominating players in the entire NHL this season.
The 25 year old Hughes has an incredible 14 goals and 59 points in 47 games.
With Hughes' injury unknown and his return to the lineup uncertain, fans and analysts are wondering if he'll be replaced in Team USA's lineup for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.
USA boasts a pretty deep defence corps, but Hughes is arguably their top defender. Charlie McAvoy, Adam Hox, Brock Faber, Noah Hanifin, Jaccob Slavin and Zach Werenski round out the team's blue line group. Jake Sanderson would be a worth addition if Hughes can't go, but you have to wonder if USA would actually look to Quinn's kid brother Luke Hughes to fill his spot?
