Was mostly punch for punch with both eating right hands until Delorme Ko’d him at the end. There was a pic in the Province the next morning of Macoun’s face as he was skating off, it looked like ground beef.
Delorme was one of my favourite Canucks back then. Still is I guess. I like the heart and soul guys like Delorme, Bieksa, Rypien, Smyl, Jovo, and pretty much the entire 94 playoff team.

The Canucks get 1rst overall selection in the draft

A pick they got in a 2023 trade

The Canucks are even in the playoffs that year.

This is one of the great Canuck moments of all time, and also possibly the only one who could save this franchise now:

So many memories of Canuck glory long past.....this spring, if Canuck fans want to see NHL playoff action they'll probably have to drive down the I-5 to watch the second year Kraken.

It's embarrassing. The Kraken aren't really rivals of the Canucks. They're just better after less than two seasons of existence.

Greeting Canucks fans!

Not sure if this is the right thread but I'll give it a shot.

Jyrki Lumme was on a Finnish Podcast this week and they were talking about his career and his best days in Vancouver.

I wanted to ask you guys, how do you remember Lumme from his time in Van? What did you think about him as a player and as a human being? Apparently, he still lives in Vancouver so he must've fallen in love with the city.

Anyway, thanks for your time!

Before there was Sami Salo (another Finn), there was Lumme. A very dependable two-way defenseman. Lord knows we could use a player like Lumme on the Canucks *TODAY*. Would get my vote to be in the Canucks "Ring of Honor".

I don't know if I have a specific memory of him, I was a young back then, but I would say super underrated.

@Mr. Canucklehead knows Lumme. Maybe he'll check in.

I like the thunderbird more than the skate.
Make it happen! :laugh:

As a player, Lumme was one of the best defenders in franchise history. He was a good two-way guy who could join the attack and defend well. He had an interesting skating stride where he rode back on his heels more than most guys you see, but he got around the ice very well with it. He wasn't known for his toughness, but he didn't shy away from scrums or rough stuff either, and he always rose to the occasion in the post-season. He was an excellent Canuck.

As a human being, he's all class. I've had the privilege of working with him on a number of occasions. Settled in Vancouver with his family. I know when he was up here for an Alumni game his daughter was set to graduate and was talking about taking a gap year. He's very, very active with the Canucks Alumni and like most of their active members, lives in the Lower Mainland. He's terrific with kids and adults alike, and he's an absolute machine when it comes to partying all night - total life of the party with some excellent tales and some amazing dirty jokes.

Of all the NHL types I've rubbed shoulders with, he's probably my favorite. Seamlessly blends into whatever situation he is in and helps everyone there have a great time.

I remember watching Jovo jumping around and being so relieved that we weren't scored on while he was in the penalty box. The stars were aligning. But then it wasn't meant to be.

That was a shocker. We were a high seed and Calgary was low.

Calgary went on to game 7 of the finals that year losing by inches. What could’ve been that year if Bertuzzi hadn’t made his poor decision and didn’t get suspended. Canuck Luck.

Canucks with their backs against the wall down 3 games to 1 in New York. June 9. 1994. Complete game.

Ronning's blind pass at 44:25 is amazing.

48:00 - Kovalev feigning injury works and gets the Rangers a 5 minute powerplay. He miraculously recovers and starts on the powerplay. Kovalev has a history of faking injuries. After faking an injury against the Canucks in 1994, the following year in the playoffs Kovalev again faked injury in the playoffs against the Nordiques. While laying on the ice like a victim of the Texas Tower sniper, the Nordiques scored but the goal was disallowed.
