How about a Stanley Cup parade down Robson St.? Or maybe a championship celebration on the Red Mile?
The Canadian Press’ hockey writers have pulled out a crystal ball to make some predictions about the upcoming NHL season and see Vancouver and Calgary as the teams most likely to end the country’s 17-year Stanley Cup drought.
Roberto Luongo continues to be the cornerstone of the Canucks and has a revamped blue-line working in front of him. In Calgary, the arrival of defenceman Jay Bouwmeester should provide a major boost to a 98-point team from a year ago.
Ultimately, though, we think the champion will again come from an American city and it should be one heck of a final between two resurgent hockey markets in Boston and Chicago.
Can you imagine the excitement surrounding an Original Six matchup?
