Given Sunday\u2018s nail biter of a finish, everyone from psychics to the team\u2018s owner is asking Vancouver to step up and send some positive energy to the Canucks for Tuesday\u2018s make or break game at Rogers Arena.
\nThe question is, how will you do it?
\nI\u2018d like to call out to the fans to cheer really loud for our team, Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini told The Province. We want fans to get riled up, stand behind our team and get that positive energy out.
\nThere\u2018s no question a collective energy has already taken Vancouver by storm, as anxious fans try to calm their own frazzled nerves while waiting in anticipation for the do-or-die game.
\nWhile some may have resorted to praying or good-luck charms, some of the experts The Province contacted say it also can\u2018t hurt to try generating some good karma for the Canucks.
\nAfter all, it\u2018s not like there\u2018s a shortage of positive energy in this city.
\nPsychologist Dr. Joti Samra calls it a social contagion, much like the unavoidable collective energy that engulfed Vancouver during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
\nSports does that for us, she said. People who aren\u2018t even fans get into it. Everybody\u2018s cheering for the same team, and we get this hope and want them to do well.
\nThose wishes of support may become even more helpful with Game 7 on the Canucks\u2018 home turf, Samra added.
\nThere\u2018s something positive about being in your home city where you\u2018ve got fans and support, she said. I think that creates an energy for the players.
\nThat said, cheering in the stadium is one thing. How can fans at home lend their support?
\nAnna Golbeck, the co-owner of Vancouver\u2018s Vikings Dragons & Fairies, says positive visualization is the key.
\nBut don\u2018t try picturing fantastic goals by the Sedin brothers, or a slip-up by Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford.
\nWhen you use visualization, it\u2018s about creating what you\u2018re after, not how you get there, Golbeck said. You need to go for the done deal, throwing your belief and goodwill into that moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
