It's just too bad that we didn't have the goaltending during the WCE era, and the stars have yet to align properly during the Sedin/Luongo era.

And now that the window of opportunity has seemingly closed, I don't think the Canucks will win the cup within his lifetime. Maybe not even mine.
Tell me about it. I remember pre NHL team. They were a winning team. That winning spirit never carried on. The thing I remember most about the transition into the NHL was the logo. People made fun of it for years. All the other teams had great logos......... we had a hockey stick in the middle of a fricken rink?

That loss to NYR in game seven was so hard to take. I will forever hate Messier and Keenan.

gawd, I love Linden........

I choke up every time I see the famous, "Heart and Soul" pic of Linden and Kirk McLean. Every Canuck fan who watched that game that night lost something - hard to explain.

That 94 team had so much character. Synergy. It was magical to see it unfold. seventh in the conference, down 3 games to Calgary to come back and gell as a team.

Then to watch this type of shit.............
