It’s Hockey Night in Canada, a.k.a. The Luongo Shut-out Streak, continued with the Vancouver Canucks and the Minnesota Wild tonight.
I’ll be joining a livechat/blog with Waiting for Stanley and (possibly) the Yankee Canuck. The feed of our chat is available below and will allow readers of all our blogs to add their observations throughout the game.
P.S. The Canucks are providing the pre-game feed here. And as for the game itself… if you can’t access CBC TV coverage or get through to the CBC stream online, you might be able to access the game at this link come game-time. (*knock on wood*)
Incidentally, for more of CBC’s Jim Hughson (who’s not working this particular game, sadly) I spoke to him a couple days ago about the Hall of Fame inductions this weekend, plus we looked a the current fate of a few ex-Canucks around the NHL and other topics.

A fight for dignity and against subcontracting
The Holiday Inn Express and the Candlewood Suites at 155-191 Rene-Levesque blvd. east in Montreal, belong to the Aquilini family, under the name Faubourg Saint-Laurent. They’re also the owners of the NHL hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks.
For more than two years, the employees of this hotel have tried to win recognition of their democratic union in order to improve working conditions at the hotel. Despite overwhelming majority support of its workers, the employer has used a variety of tactics to prevent the accreditation of their union, including subcontracting staff to another company.
Long live the solidarity! The union members of the hotel Queen Elizabeth, on strike, went to support them. And UCCO-SACC-CSN members in solidarity with the Faubourg workers distributed flyers before the first Canucks hockey game in Vancouver!!!!!
