Pre Season

Both the Canucks and Devils are done with the pre season, well every team is but it went better for some then other. At this point it doesn't appear that the lose of Gomez and Rafalski has made too big of an impact on the Devils, with a 4-2-0 in the pre season, but i think it will. Last year Gomez brought in 60 points and Rafalski 55. Those are big skates to fill. It will check up to them eventaully and when it does Lou Lamerillo is going to wish he tryed that little bit hard to keep Scotty and Brian in Jersey.
The Canucks, did make much of a change, they lost a few good players, most one in Bryan Smolinski, but they are still a young team so hopefully that can keep up with the reason of the league. Their pre-season wasn't quite as good has the Devils. At 3-2-2 the Canucks, need to work on their defensive situation but more importantly get some pucks in the net. and what is up with putting Naslund on the third line, he's better then that!
