What the Vancouver Canucks need to do to finally win the Stanley Cup -NHL Special Part 2
Train Hard
The first and foremost thing which any team has to do to win the most coveted prize of the National Hockey League (NHL), the Stanley Cup, is obviously work long and hard. Practice does really make perfect and in the case of the Vancouver Canucks, no matter
how much they do it during this extra time during the lockout, it is not enough.
This cannot be stressed any more that the Vancouver Canucks need to get a rhythm going. They have great individual performers in the league, who are some of the best to have ever graced the sport, but until and unless they get their act together and work
like a team, a Stanley Cup will always remain a distant dream for the yearning Canadian club.
Surprisingly, the Vancouver Canucks is the only NHL team at the moment from which no player has gone overseas to play with a foreign league like the Kontintental Hockey League (KHL) of Russia or in Finland, Switzerland, Sweden or Germany. The team is still
intact and that should be something to be proud of for them and even more importantly, it should be something they use to continue improving themselves during the extra time at hand instead of wasting it.
Reportedly, the Vancouver club and a number of its players are continuing to practice as a team during the lockout, not at their official training arena, but instead, have chosen to continue doing so at the University of British Columbus, definitely a positive
sign, showing how dedicated they just are at having a better season next time around.
Having players like the Sedin brother, Henrik and Daniel, along with Manny Malhotra, Kevin Bieksa, Chris Higgins, Max Lapierre, Mason Raymond, Andrew Alberta and Dan Hamhuis, Vancouver is set in all the departments and they now need to get Corey Schneider
ready to tackle on all offensive mechanisms, since when the hockey season does start, it will definitely not be easy in any regard.
No matter how many times Roberto Luongo choked, he was an immense force in front of the Vancouver Canucks net and had a dominating presence, something Schneider needs to realize for the upcoming season that they just might not have him in that position any
longer.
