In the fall of September, 2000, the Canucks held their training camp in Sweden, eschewing the customary practice of holding camp in a small B.C. city (which often meant a parade of NHLers to Riverside Coliseum in Kamloops).
Naslund put together back-to-back seasons of 66 and 65 points in 1998-99 and 1999-00, but was often derided as being a soft and sometimes-disinterested player.
I had thought steady defender Mattias Ohlund was a solid candidate to wear the ‘C’ but Naslund was the one who became the face of the team.

It may have taken five years to figure out, but Naslund now knows exactly how to take advantage of what little time and space he is afforded.

Or Montreal's Jose Theodore, who lunged at the puck after Naslund was knocked airborne while cutting into the crease, only to have him stickhandle it into the net in mid-air.

If Naslund were to sue Moore, Avs former coach Tony Granato and GM Pierre Lacroix, the hockey world would be going on and on about how Naslund was within his rights to do so since his career was cut short thanks to a talentless goon.
