Well if you want to compare players to the rest of the league, Linden wasn't that great either. Never a point per game player and the amount of good years was few. No cup.
It's about what they meant to the city of Vancouver, not the league.

I think the Canucks should retire Naslunds number.
People can find all the bad things to say about him but he did a lot of good things for the team. Sure we didn't win the cup or advance pass the 2nd round during his time here but you can't brush his impressive stats over 11 years with the team including his work within the community like owning a private box for years so unprivilege and sick kids could come down and watch the games.

I agree with hondaracer... Smyl being up there is a little bit embarrassing compared to the rest of the league... he didn't even come through when we needed him against Calgary on the breakaway like Bure did but Bure will never have his number retired because of the way he left | It's about heart and soul of the team. Points mean shit, really. Players like Bure were exciting to watch and it was great, but there's more to it than that. Anyway, I'm not here to argue. Enough people like me embraced Linden and Smyl. You guys can squawk and beak all you want. This is, afterall, RS. Nuff Said.
I agree that naslund should have his name up there. Why would anybody criticize the other names that are up there along side his? Smyl deserves to be up there. Fans my age appreciated him, so you blokes need to back off.
Again, people say whatever in here and to argue it is pointless, I guess.
god bless...........

Its a shame he left on such a low note.
Not Advancing past the 2nd round should be blamed on Cloutier more so than Naslund. We had the series against Minnesota. Up 3 games to 1, then had a fairly comfortable lead in game 7 but Cloutier choked and gave up several softies in the 3rd to lose the series. Naslund had 14 pts in 14 games that year, but you're not going to get anywhere when your goalie gives up 15 goals in game 5,6,7.

we do have the highest playoff ticket pricing but we still sell out every game. if people are willing to buy at that price why lower it, you make more profit.

It's called gouging...Vancouverites has on of the highest cost of living...gas, housing, grocery etc...so it seems right to inflate hockey ticket prices...I dunno how the average family can afford $200 each for hockey tickets.

I hope so1 | trap is a trap, the canucks might have to in order to contain the speed the hawks have. so far tho in the playoffs where teams trap to contain the speed of the opposition have failed. Best example, the bruins vs the canes in game2
and it will be hughson the whole way for the nucks

We need a pest on our team. We need Burrows to step up and be a pest again and throw the team off their game. So far Chicago has the upper hand on that with Byfugly.
