WHY CHEER FOR THE CANUCKS? |
|
The Canucks are a very talented and explosive team that can really surprise. They usually put on a show of good skill and are sure to make the game intense, even against the best teams. (They posted a 2-2 win-loss record against the Detroit Red Wings, a powerhouse team). Also, the Canucks entertain fans with their occasional rough play. Every hit rattles the board. |
