CANUCKS NEWS: Gotta give Sportsnet props for not sending a crew down to Utah for last night’s pre-season tilt against the Kings. First, it gave us a dose of 1970’s nostalgia, recalling a time when the majority of Canucks games were not on the ol’ idiot box. Secondly, it was (for those of us with Center Ice) a reminder that this season is going to be painfully difficult to watch at times, especially when it comes to inter-divisional matchups.
The Canucks are making moves in the right direction, make no mistake. The movement is near glacial in pace however, and it’s fairly obvious so far when looking at how they compare against their closest rivals.
