Vancouver Canucks fans are predicting the Olympic fever that swept Canada to hockey gold will help carry the Canucks to the Stanley Cup. Fans gathered at a Surrey pub Wednesday for Game 3 between Vancouver and the Chicago Blackhawks were confident the home team would win -- even though Chicago took an early 1-0 lead in the first period. The winner of Game 3 will have the advantage going into Game 4.

"Vancouver is still buzzing from the Olympics so there's a lot of pride, whether it's for the country or the home team," said Cameron Kaufman, 21. "The crowd has a lot to do with it. I worked downtown during the Olympics and it was just infectious. It just so happens hockey is the other thing Canadians get excited about."

Kaufman, who was dressed in a Vancouver Canucks jersey, joined five friends at the pub to cheer on the Sedin twins and goaltender Roberto Luongo. His buddy Spencer Serka, 20, said this is "going to be the year with the Olympics and the Canucks."

Not only is Luongo still on fire from helping the Canadians take hockey gold, but the Canucks have a double blessing with Henrik Sedin. "Everyone's just hyped about it," Serka said. "Henrik and Luongo are superstars. Everyone's energy is up because of it." For Stacy Levac, 21, the winning's already begun; she won a jersey at the pub last week.
