Nasland deserves to get his number retired. He was a HUGE part in bringing hockey back to life in this city.
And on the Bure thing. Didn't he wait for several hrs after landing at the airport waiting on the organization to be picked up?

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
just off the top of my head | Quote:

He was screwed the first day he joined the Canucks and he had enough of being jerked around and that's why he demanded to be traded.
Everybody is so wrapped with "Bure demanded a trade so he must be an asshole!" mentality when it was the organization itself that drove him away. You guys can thank people like Stan McAmmond for that.
Can you guys really blame a guy for wanting to leave after being bent over like that for so many years? The guy was the most exciting player in the league and franchise history and they treated him like some 4th line scrub. Quote:

I believe there is an NHL rule that requires name plates to be on the back of all jerseys worn in game, so these 40th anniversary ones should have them when they wear them. Weather they'll have them pre-stitched on for public sale is another story.

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 | i cried when linden retired and his number was raised to the rafters
i still rock the linden jersey to canuck games.
still missing the '03 season with the west coast express. looking back at the team 7, 8 years ago, man the team has changed dramatically
faces like ohlund, jovo, cooke, linden, nazzy, bert, morrison...

Hamhuis takes shot at Preds fans.
When speaking to the small crowd at Roger's Arena last night he said,
"This crowd reminds me of a home game in Nashville." lol
