Molson Canadian Pub Party for Round 2: Game 1 - Vancouver Canucks 1, Nashville Predators 0 of the NHL 2011 Playoffs at Roxy Burger, Doolin's Irish Pub, and Forum Sports Bar on Granville Street with on April 28, 2011.
What a crazy day. A crazy week. This has been a roller coaster of a past few days thanks to rearranging my entire social calendar due to the Vancouver Canucks tumultuous playoff run.
I had several cancellations for various reasons this week and desperately wanted to do nothing but cheer on the Canucks. Yesterday, I was even delayed by some Green Men impostors causing a traffic jam and was interviewed by my pals over at CBC News. You can watch the full story here. I even ended up giving up my ticket to Pecha Kucha Night No.16 to opt instead for catching the big game.
My buddies, the two Peters, Peter Verge and "Street Pete" Henderson are Molson Canadian Puck Party hosts decked out in some retro suits straight out of Norway that Don Cherry himself would be proud of.
What a fun job. Last night, I tagged along as they went bar hopping downtown, giving away beers to fans watching the game. We hit up Granville Street to pump up fans rushing from work to see the game.
First stop was Roxy Burger. I'll be honest. Full disclosure: I drank a few free Molson Canadian beers. It was fun. The vibe downtown was stellar as our Canucks played great in the most lopsided one-goal game I've ever seen.
Our hosts did a wicked job of pumping up the crowds across the Granville strip. The most entertaining part was the cheering, shouting, and flag waving walking down the street. The fan atmosphere was electric. Everybody was pumped!
The above photo was the immediate reaction by Street Pete and Matt Lang to the Canucks first, only, and eventual game-winning goal by Chris Higgins.
The two Petes gave away a bunch of beers to some very happy fans. Who knew, people like free booze?
The genuine reactions from the patrons were priceless with gaping mouths, high fives, and hugs all around.
Last stop was the newish Forum Sports Bar. This was the loudest, most raucous joint of the night with some rowdy fans cheering on their team for some free Molsons.
It was a blast. Big thanks to Molson Coors sales rep Matt for letting me tag along and report on the fan reactions from bar to bar.
It was a ton of fun interacting with jubilant fans and soaking up the hockey-filled vibes of the city. The boys will be next out at the bars again on Saturday and for the rest of the Vancouver playoff run. Go Canucks!
