So what do you guys think about having to go through airport style metal detectors now when you go to a game? My cousin posted this on his fb page and this is the first I have heard of this..

Well in light of what's been going on lately, a venue with 18,000+ people in close proximity is a perfect opportunity for someone that wants to watch the world burn...
Same kind of scenario as the attempted plot on the French train.
Had to do it in LA Staples Centre and Anaheim Honda Centre couple years back...
Height of ridiculousness? Women can't bring purses to NFL games, they gotta empty the contents into a clear plastic bag unless the purse is smaller than the size of a passport.

I've got nothing to hide, no big deal and it might stop some random idiots from bringing in a weapon.

No matter how sophisticated or invasive the security to personal privacy, a determined person will find a way to exploit it. The biggest exploit being human nature: failing to follow procedure.
Vancouver, B.C. – The Vancouver Canucks announced today the 2015.16 season schedule of events and themes for #20in20; the 20th anniversary celebration of Rogers Arena. The first of 20 special game nights begins opening night with a look back at the original opening night, on October 9, 1995, when the Canucks moved downtown, the Grizzlies were born and the world’s biggest acts landed a new destination.
The #20in20 celebration includes a selection of marquee nights with special guest appearances in addition to themed game nights honouring unique moments in Rogers Arena’s rich history. Marquee #20in20 nights include a reunion of the West Coast Express Line on Monday, December 7th versus Buffalo and the return of Markus Naslund, Brendan Morrison and Todd Bertuzzi to Rogers Arena. Grizzlies Night on Monday, November 2nd vs Philadelphia is another special evening when fans can wear their Grizzlies colours alongside Canucks jerseys with pride and celebrate Vancouver’s former NBA team. And already confirmed, ’95 Retro Night welcomes back the Canucks skate logo, black jersey and uniform for one game only on Saturday, February 13th versus Toronto.
The Saturday, October 10th home opener is significant not only for the launch of #20in20; it’s a must attend game because of the annual ‘Jerseys Off Our Backs’ event for fans. ‘Jerseys Off Our Backs’ offers every fan in attendance the chance to be selected and join Canucks player’s on-ice postgame to receive a personally signed, game worn jersey.
You can join in on the #20in20 fun by participating in an interactive, fan-driven bracket challenge. By casting a vote for your favourite experience you’ll help determine the favourite fan moment in Rogers Arena history. Details will be available at Canucks.com/20in20.

WCE were nearly automatic on the PP. Miss watching those guys destroy the other team's PK.
Yeah, I remember back in the day when the WCE had a set up play on the PP that worked very well. Nazzy would make a hard wrist shot at the opposing goalie's pads. Bert would be in front of the net to wait for the puck to rebound from the goalie's pads so that he puts the puck into the net.
