Over at the rest stop, the Canucks await an opponent

The pace probably is a little less hectic these days for the members of the Vancouver Canucks, the aches and pains of three hard fought series will have some time to heal, though we imagine that the daily skates will still focus on the task at hand.  The challenge of bringing a Stanley Cup to the West Coast for the first time since a band of fellows called the Millionaires made a pilgrimage eastbound.

With the Lightning and Bruins extending their fun for a seventh game, the rest period for the Canucks will gain the added bonus that whichever team should persevere on Friday, either Boston or Tampa Bay will be a very weary team by the time they make the cross continent trek for Game One of the Stanley Cup Final.

While the Canucks kick back in the back yard and refine their leisure skills near the BBQ, (The Sedins no doubt passing the condiments back and forth, with Kesler crowding the front of the BBQ while Roberto deflects some refreshments to Bieksa and Hamhuis over in the corners) there still is time to concentrate on some hockey don't you think?

So to that end, we'll provide updates on the developments in the Canucks camp as they make their final preparations for the Showdown for Stanley to come.
