Somehow I read that as freedomLumme was my favourite Canucks D until Hughes, his breakout coincided with the start of my fandom
Cool idea for a thread.When did everyone start watching hockey?
Glad someone likes the thread.Cool idea for a thread.
I'm really going to show my age here. The players I remember most from my early days are guys like Lever, Gould, Blight, Kearns and Gary suitcase Smith. That means mid 70s. I never knew how completely consumed I was until that amazing feeling during the '82 run. I remember walking to and from school (uphill both ways) like I was floating on a cloud. It was such an amazing run.
We all know being a Canucks fan isnt freedomSomehow I read that as freedom
I blame Brian Noonan.I find it quite fun to relate my Canuck joy to Mark Messier. I love how that pisses off long time Canuck fans. The truth of it is that he made the Canucks so bad my family could afford tickets. Screw you Naslund for making the team great again!
Also credit to Benning for allowing me to enjoy hockey again 20 years later.

Didn't the Canucks do a fire fighter group shot in the Bure years too?I wish I still had my VPD poster of Mess and company with the dogs. I’m pretty sure my friend still has his. Was a cool poster.
Read thisWhat are some annoying or interesting things certain players would do?
Ie. Bertuzzi always going a mile off side and then chastising the ref after.
Morrison taking a weak stick infraction every game and then complaining ever so mildly every time.

Bryan Helmer and Michael Chaput were teammates. Boone Jenner as well. Dude was an AHL legend. Not sure how many guys play to like 40 without ever staying out of the AHL for a full season.Let's discuss Bryan Helmer.
Also Scott Lachance. I really liked him.
Helmer looked like a 45 year old chain smoker who worked in a shop when he was like 29.
Dude had like a decade in the NHL by the time he was a Canuck.I had no idea Lachance played over 800 games.
For some reason I thought the Isles drafted him or his career started in the mid 90sBryan Helmer and Michael Chaput were teammates. Boone Jenner as well. Dude was an AHL legend. Not sure how many guys play to like 40 without ever staying out of the AHL for a full season.
