Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I'll probably get flamed for this, but anyway, am I the only one who thinks that Naslund didn't do enough to warrant a retired number? He was the ultimate playoff choker.
say wut u want but Nazzy's one of the best Canucks in history... 12 years with the Canucks and leading in points... classy leader and his # should definitely be retired
Aquilini: "So guys, we need to figure out our next cash grab"
Yes man: "You're right sir! i know! Let's take the vintage rink stick jersey we had before and change the lettering and add a dinky V to the sleeves and sell it as our NEW jersey!"
Aquilini: "hmmm..."
Yes man #2: "We'll remove the name plates on the back to lower the cost!"
Aquilini: *eyes turn into $$$ signs* "Sounds good! Git er done"
yep.... no names at the back

the original stick and rink jersey had those V on the sleeves.
Yup, Naslund did amazing work off the ice. Hell, he paid for a private box so kids and others could come watch the games for free. The man had heart and he was a leader on the ince for most of his time in Vancouver. I'm glad the Canucks have retired his number. I still can't forget Nazzy's face during the last game for Linden, he look so heart broken because deep down he knew he wasn't coming back to Vancouver.
^Isnt it cause the Canucks made Bure pay to actually come to Canada to play for the Canucks
And didnt the Canucks tell Bure that his first 60 goal season was a fluke?
And there was a story about Bure withdrawing his services for the playoffs until he got a new contract, and he denied it, and the Canucks didnt back him on it?
And didnt the Canucks trick Bure into paying him in CND Dollars where his 2 russian counterparts Mogilny and Fedorov were being paid in US
My favorite part was (and I don't remember exactly how he worded the question):
Someone asked: "Are you gonna do something bout the intros? The Oilers and Flames have fire and stuff and all we have are players coming our and skating around."
Gillis: "...I rather have a hockey team"

I still remember that game, it was shitty to watch at the same time, the class act by Iggypop for Trevor and letting Linden had a clear shot and all that stuff was great.
It was unfortunate that Trevor was the star that game and stole the limelight from Nazzy, but Im sure he understands. It was also unfortunate he was never the same player since the bertuzzi incident, but it never took anything away from him as a PERSON

just off the top of my head
Ya from what I remember the management treated Bure pretty shitty. He had the right to want to leave.

"Our intro is very lame, are we gonna let the Oilers and Flames get away with fires and stuff while we have players skating in circles? shouldn't we have whales or something?"

Yeah, was pretty shitty that Nazzy never got a proper send off from Vancouver. But Hopefully his # retirement more than makes up for it
