There's nothing quite like media day at the Stanley Cup Final. Every player from the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks will have their own little station for the media to speak to them. They say you shouldn't put people on a pedestal, but that's basically what will happen for everyone today.
Right now, the Canucks are in the middle of their 11 a.m. practice at Rogers Arena, the site of today's media day festivities. They've spent time on the power play and are currently working on breakouts.
At 1 p.m., the Canucks will meet the media on the concourse here at the arena. It's not quite the Super Bowl media day where players are asked endless amounts of off-the-wall questions, but it's a spot where some players who don't generally get swamped by media will find themselves in the spotlight for a few minutes.
The Bruins' time to face the media will be at 3 p.m. Stay tuned for all the goings-on from today's fun.
3:09 p.m. ET -- Practice is over, and now we're sitting in our little work tent in the bowels of Rogers Arena. It's a small area, but it looks like we're encased in a cement room, a bomb shelter if you will. If the rapture comes at any point today, I think we'll be safe. There are arena workers nearby operating a forklift, and based on the constant beeping, I think they are trained to drive it backwards, which is nice. The Canucks availability will be starting in less than an hour, so hopefully I'll have something slightly more interesting then.
