 Paisley Town performs a cleanse outside GM Place Tuesday afternoon in hopes the Vancouver Canucks will break a losing streak Febuary 3, 2009. (CARMINE MARINELLI, 24 HOURS) |
The gang at Virgin Radio had to do something to break a “curse” plaguing the Vancouver Canucks.
Station host and 24 hours’ columnist Buzz Bishop invited psychometric and intuitive medium Paisley Town Tuesday to GM Place to break a slump that’s seen the Canucks win only one of their last 10 games in regulation time before facing the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday night.
“We think it’s a curse because the team keeps putting in the effort but bad things are happening,” Bishop said. “They go up two goals and then a fluke goal goes past Roberto Luongo.”
Town stood in a circle with students from Newton Elementary School and performed a cleansing ceremony to raise positive vibrations and set good intentions heading into last night’s game.
“It’s got to work,” Town beamed after the blessing.
And, to be sure, Town confirmed the Canucks aren’t playing under a curse brought from the Big Smoke by Mats Sundin.

“Some people think that it’s because Sundin is here the team is cursed but really it happened earlier in the season when Roberto [Luongo] went down for half the year,” Bishop said. “Sundin coming was supposed to be one of those good luck things but it's just not gelling quite right.”
