VANCOUVER — In the quiet and leafy Vancouver neighbourhood of South Cambie, best known for its botanical garden, playoff fever is about to set in.

The neighbourhood is expecting thousands of Vancouver Canucks fans for a viewing party on Sunday evening at Oak Meadows Park, as the team faces the Edmonton Oilers for Game 3 of their Stanley Cup playoffs series.

The goal at Oak Meadows Park is not a drunken eruption of fandom — Sim said on Wednesday he want to show that Vancouver fans can celebrate in a way that is"family-friendly, fun and safe." "Mother's Day is the single busiest day of the year for the restaurant … 600 or 700 people for lunch, and a couple more hundred people for dinner time."

“It's unfortunate that they picked that location on Mother's Day. Had they done a little research … of course, that didn't happen and I'm not surprised.” The restaurant has been a fixture on Oak Street for 40 years. It was packed for Wednesday's Game 1 of the Canucks-Oilers series."Everybody was going crazy," he said, recalling the Canucks' thrilling come-from-behind 5-4 win.Vancouver police spokeswoman Const. Tania Visintin said the department “definitely” supported the idea of neighbourhood viewing areas.
