The Canucks were up-beat, sporting their vintage jerseys during skate this morning as they worked to prepare for a big game vs. The Calgary Flames tonight at General Motors Place. The Flames always give the Canucks a challenge but they are ready to fight hard and bring the same passion and energy that always seems to be in the air when facing Calgary.

Marc Crawford reports that Ed Jovanovski will prepare like he will play tonight, although his final decision will be made just prior to the game. Hear more in the audio clips below.

Calgary had an optional skate this morning since they played last night. Perhaps a little fatigue on the Flames part will give the Canucks a bit of a push tonight.
