Well we have a week left before the season takes off with a bang. So far i'm not impressed with there efforts. Granted its only pre-season, but wouldn't we like to see them crush Calgary, ( No disrespect to are fellow pooning brothers to the East) and the rest of the competition. They beat Minnesota twice but they were missing a key ingredient to there line up. That would be Marian Gabrok (spelling?) The changes the Canucks made this year is a far cry to what other clubs have made in are Division. Like Colorado and Detroit.
What about this talk of the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich wanting to buy a NHL club. For those who aren't familiar with him. This wealthy guy bought Chelsea Football club in the UK for $313 million and then spent an additional $248 million in new players. Thats a total of $561 million spent, and we are talking US dollars here. A team like Vancouver would be a drop in the bucket as far as expenses goes. Its reported that if he did buy a club he would want it to have all Russian players. I feel that would never happen because he likes to win. Second who would support a team made up solely of Russian players?
Tony Gallagher from the Province says the Canucks don't have a chance this year. I think thats a little premature. Who thinks they are going to improve over last year or should start preparing there golf bags. Who do you feel they should have added to the line up, taking into account the Canucks limited budget?
Any thoughts on are team the Canucks? --- Kev
