The Vancouver Canucks: Great Moments in Time

[LuckyDay]

Does anyone have that old CKNW commercial that ran all year where it goes on about how they went to Russia and "got two sharp shooters".
They played it over and over again. And again, and again, and again. No one thought, hey, we really shouldn't play that commercial anymore. At least not since November.

Found this anyway.


What I remember from it - if this is that game - is Davidov doing an end to end run and the Soviets were shocked when the Canucks fans stopped and gave him a standing ovation.

This is a pretty awesome find. Apart from Jim Benning in the starting lineup.

I vaguely remember this game after-the-fact... don't think I realized Arturs Irbe had played in Vancouver before the NHL, though. A number of the Soviet players weren't actually on CSKA during the 1989-90 season, so did they just pretend they were for the sake of assembling an all-star team, I wonder?
