Tom Fergus. Acquired mid-season and formed part of an excellent secondary offensive line with Petr Nedved and Jim Sandlak, IIRC.

Fell off from there, but was great in that half season with the team.

On the morning of Game 7, the bus from Horseshoe Bay into the city was completely packed with drunk, aggressive fans from Nanaimo. One guy with no shirt, a tall can and a lit cigar would periodically bellow:

RAAAAFI ...

f***IN' ...

My one really vivid Tom Fergus memory is this game :

Fergus scored the OT winner to win the game 1-0 for Vancouver and Larscheid lost his mind, and I can still remember listening to the game on the radio in my parents' basement.

I think the game stuck with me because this was the highest-scoring period in league history in the late 80s/early 90s and I had never seen a 0-0 game before.

Maybe it was just that I didn't pay attention to other teams at that age but the Canucks always seemed to be keen on reclamation projects in the early 90s and were sometimes successful. Fergus and Gelinas obviously, and the trade for Jimmy Carson was a big deal for a week or two. He looked great in his first game and I think he had 3-4 assists.

I recall we picked him for a bag of pucks from Toronto (I recall his contract was bought his contract for a $1000 but Wikipedia says he was waived) and turned out to be such a success that Don Cherry was talking about it. His size was perfect for the Nedved line and we saw the flash of why we picked Petr with his 15 point game streak.
When Quinn dumped him it was a few months after that that Nedved shocked everyone (they shouldn't have been) that he wanted off the team.
