As far as the players are concerned, I think Boston is more Canadian than Vancouver.
But it all comes down to the names, logos, colours, and locales.
Boston is Boston.
I suppose it would be nice to see the Canucks win their first Stanley Cup and to bring it back to Canada. However, I was just at the Hockey Hall of Fame on Sunday, gazing at the old Stanley strips.
The Vancouver Millionaires are on there for 1915, in their pre-NHL glory.
