When you think of the Vancouver Canucks of two years ago, what comes to mind? What about five years ago? Nothing? We’d have to go back six or seven years to find a team that gave you an answer to that question. The 2011, maybe even 2012 Vancouver Canucks had that identity that has been missing ever since.
This year will be different, the 50th anniversary Canucks have a vision of who they will be; they are going to be a hard to play against grinding team that can score in a myriad of ways. Each line looks to have ogre-like layers, layers that a donkey just simply doesn’t have.
