I think the much maligned Cody Hodgson and Gillis deserve a few recognitions.
How good Coho was and the steal of Gillis drafting him at 10.
Hodgson is still 1, 2 or 3 and in the top ten in WJC team scoring in per game averages, ahead of Gretzky even.
Still #2 in points per game and #1 in assists per game.
Even though he didn't have a great number of games, 6 but the Great one only had 7.
Numerous awards in junior and leading points player in WJC U18 and 20 tournaments, twice player of the year in junior and outstanding player.
Gillis had only two picks ever in the top ten, Hodgson who if he didn't have that disease could have been great and Horvat, both AAA winners. Home runs on both. Even in the year Gillis was let go he waned Larkin.
Just putting it out there about how wrong the spur of the moment and influencing of the media can lead and sour fans on people.

so i’m sick and quarantined in a little room by myself and between slipping in and out of consciousness, watched the majority of the last game of the 1991 regular season.
what a game. winner makes the playoffs, loser goes home. spoiler: we came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 in OT.
man, momesso was such a force. so weird how he went from looking like prime tom wilson when he got here to settling into his 15 goal third line banger role.
and jesus, look at the total lack of depth. the lines were
courtnall ronning linden
momesso larionov bozek
capuano rookie nedved sandlak
valk murphy mazur
imagine how bad that team was before we added courtnall, ronning, and momesso? btw, the goal scorers? momesso, ronning, and courtnall in OT.
2/3 of the D were also mid-to-late-season additions: diduck, murzyn, kurvers, and dirk. this game only cemented my memory that diduck, not lumme, was our best dman of the quinn era.

It'll always be Burrows in Game 7 until we win it all.
Game 2 vs Boston hurts too much given what happened.

They got outscored 23 - 8. People need to move on. They got beat and they got beat up. 94 team wouldn't get bullied like that. One dumb Pat move and a different ref in game 7 or no extra day off to the old goats and Vancouver wins that cup.

The Bure Show.
Canucks dominate the Leafs in game 3 and the Leafs come absolutely unglued. And then the Leafs cry.

The best time to ever be a Canucks fan was in the spring of 1994. It was a team to be proud of. The video includes post-game interviews.
The most impressive thing about the Leafs is Pat Burns' mullet.

1991-1995 is easily the best window of being a fan for me. I was in my early 20's. We'd see half the players at the Roxy or Club Soda etc and the drinks were flowing. Most of them were around our ages.There was no fans harassing players back then. But the team had so much pushback and they were damn good.
In 82 I was 12 and it was a shitty team that caught lightning in a bottle and they bullied their way through three rounds. Richard Brodeur stood on his head and they ran into the second best juggernaut of alll time who had the league and officials in their back pocket. What if Snepsts doesn't throw it up the gut to Bossy and they win game 1?
I liked the WCE era of teams as well. Bert, Naslund, Ohlund, Jovo. But no goalie. Crow was a crappy coach though.
Oddly enough the 08/09 and 09/10 teams resonated more with me as we had a ton more grit and Gillis clipped the teams nuts in the 10/11 season and while they were great until they weren't, it was a team of rats.
As an expansion baby I need to see this team cash in a f***ing cup soon.
I still think if FrankenSwede signed on the dotted line on July 1 instead of Christmas time, that team could have closed the deal in 09. Willie Mitchell and Luongo both had a shocker in Game 6.
