How to get ready for the NHL season just watch Dale Cory on Complete Sports Media's Podcast

#NHL #NorthDivision #Canucks

We welcomed in Dale Cory to preview the NHL shortened 56 game season that starts this week.

 

The teams are now all in newly aligned divisions and will be facing their rivals 8 to 10 times each if they can pull off the entire season. Our discussion was centered a lot on the all Canadian "Scotiabank" North Division. The league decided they didn't want any cross border games so put all seven teams north of the border in their own division. This will help further any rivalries and actually should increase them exponentially. This division will be ultra competitive and with only four of seven teams making the playoffs most every game will be very important.

 

Every team undergoes changes in every off season and we talked specifically about the Vancouver Canucks and the loss of some free agents. The team made some acquisitions and promoted some younger players in the organization to fill the holes. They decided to part ways with their MVP of last season goalie Jacob Markstrom and he signed a six year $36 million dollar deal in Calgary which has been there biggest rival for much of their history. They also lost defenceman Chris Tanev and Left winger Josh Leivo also to the Flames. The new faces with the Canucks are Nate Schmidt defenceman from the Vagas Golden Knights, Braden Holtby former Stanley Cup qinning goalie from Washington and Travis Hamonic the d-man from Calgary. Nils Hoglander the highly touted right winger from Sweden will suit up on the second line to start the season.

Enjoy,

 

Take care,

 

Love yah,

 

Bye for now!
