Not a bad way to begin the preseason. After hearing Sportsnet drone on end about Jonathan Tavares scoring, it was good to see some action focused on the Vancouver Canucks. Tonight’s lineup was special, as it would feature a heavy emphasis on scoring and ditch the boring defensive players behind (well, not all of them).
This first game arrived as promised. Travis Green declared a speedy group and he was correct. The game was played at a good pace with few lulls in between. There is an electricity in the air. For the first time in several years, preseasons felt exciting.
