Hullo is expecting loud and boisterous crowds headed to and from Vancouver Canucks home games these NHL playoffs.
The foot-passenger ferry service between downtown Nanaimo on Vancouver Island and downtown Vancouver offers special-event late-night sailings, including during the National Hockey League playoffs.
Sammar Charif, Hullo brand marketing manager, was at Game 1, a 4-2 win against the Nashville Predators on April 21, and said the 11 p.m. return sailing was just as electric as Rogers Arena.
含羞草研究社淧retty much every single person on that boat had been to the game含羞草研究社卟菅芯可鐫 said Charif. 含羞草研究社淧ost-game energy was there 含羞草研究社� everyone was very, very excited and you can含羞草研究社檛 complain after a game like that.含羞草研究社�
As for the atmosphere at the rink, she said fans were out of their minds when Vancouver含羞草研究社檚 Pius Suter and Dakota Joshua scored goals in the span of 12 seconds, a team playoff record.
含羞草研究社淭o give you some context, everyone was still standing, screaming by the time that next goal went in,含羞草研究社� said Charif. 含羞草研究社淪o it was funny because I barely saw the goal, but everyone was still on their feet and everyone had their towels waving in the air, screaming super loud 含羞草研究社� They hadn含羞草研究社檛 even fully announced the [first] goal.含羞草研究社�
Despite a newly disclosed injury to Canucks starting goalie Thatcher Demko, Charif thinks the team and fans will persevere.
含羞草研究社淗onestly, my experience moving to B.C. five years ago is that people are very loyal to their Canucks,含羞草研究社� she said. 含羞草研究社淚 don含羞草研究社檛 think it含羞草研究社檚 going to change the overall sentiment. I think we have a really good backup goalie as well, and I含羞草研究社檓 confident that the Canucks are going to pull through.含羞草研究社�
Playoff game night ferries depart Vancouver at 11 p.m. for games ending in regulation, but will sail at 11:30 p.m. if it goes to overtime, and midnight for two overtime periods.
