| THE LOWDOWN: |
| Nothing can spruce up a team like adding Bob
Lilley as a head coach. The
Bobanator has already tapped a couple of his former players (Lemiere
and Klein), as well as adding Canadian stalwart Watson and the
hell-a-promising Ali. Also,
a few players from those punching bag teams formerly known as
Edmonton and Calgary. Of
the weak Western Conference teams, RD sees the Whitecaps as the best of the bunch, and the only club
with a legitimate shot at running with the big dogs. Frankly, that has much more to do with Lilley than it does
with any of Vancouver’s signings. Ordinarily, we'd pick
them to run away with the West, but since there is no more West,
we'll guess they'll scrape to make the playoffs. |
