NHL In The Crease

FTW - Will the Canucks Contend for the Cup in '10?

by Alain Quinto | 24-September-2009

I know, it's only the pre-season and the Canucks have played pretty well for the past two pre-seasons amassing a record of 12-0-1. They bowed out of last year's finals earlier than expected against the Chicago Blackhawks on some timely scoring from their young players including NHL 10 cover athlete Patrick Kane. And even though they've come so close in years passed and have yet to taste the nectar from Lord Stanley's Cup, once again it feels like they have a team that can do just that.
