NHL reporter Elliotte Friedman recently took to Twitter to share a video of Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat discussing the fan engagement and atmosphere in the UBS arena. In the video, the reporter asked Horvat about the excitement of the final regular-season game at the arena and how it compared to other playoff pushes.
Horvat responded by stating that the atmosphere at the UBS arena was "unbelievable" and "a lot better than Vancouver." This comment has garnered attention from fans and media alike, as it is uncommon for a player to publicly compare fan engagement between two cities.
