Fantastic. Love that you included the Bure elbow.
I remember that song from back then. First time I think I've heard it since..

I can't find the videoclip but I still remember the attempts by the Canucks to pump the tires of Trevor Linden for rookie of the year (he lost out to Mike Madano) by circulating a video of Linden highlights set to the Tom Cochrane song "Big League".Fantastic. Love that you included the Bure elbow.

Speaking of Linden, Don Taylor was the best.
Of course Cochrane and Ken Greer performed that at the Luc Bourdon tribute.

Just awesome.
There are more on there, like wow.
The amount of effort out I got these back then and uploading it on YouTube.

I don't recall hearing that before. I also don't think Bert ever weighed 245.
And the singer sounds very much like Warren Zevon. I actually did a double take. I know Zevon wrote and sang about hockey. Is that actually him singing the song about Bert? Ultimately, no, but it sounds close.

Okay, not about the Canucks specifically, but who can ever forget Pratt & Taylor's epic argument about elderly professional poker player Doyle Brunson, where Don Taylor absolutely trolls the shit out of Dave Pratt.
DT: "What's the hardest thing he has to do, shuffle?"
DT: "I put in more effort folding laundry."
DT: "I played Fish the other day with the kids!"
Pratt storms out of the room.
DT: "Dave Pratt, the first man to use 'sitting and slugging it out' in the same sentence."
And I still love both of these guys.

Patrick Johnston: A poker debate when one angry TSN host 'folded' is among 1040's finest
A decade after Dave Pratt and Don Taylor engaged in a heated debate about whether poker is as demanding as golf, the moment has reached legendary Vancouver media status.

I remember hearing about this then looking for it to find out what happened. It feels like it was as long abo as it really was.

Trevor Linden's goal against the Czech Republic was just one example of why he belonged on Team Canada (I might be biased but I thought he was among the better forwards for that team - a proud moment for Canuckfans). Unfortunately the game didn't end well (damn you Crawford not letting Gretzky take shot in the shootout lol!).

I thought Linden was one of the better players too. And you're right about our future coach not playing Gretzky.

Didn't former Canuck Slegr score the first goal? The first time he actually hit the net (or avoided hitting a player) & it would have to be at THAT game via a shot from the point.

In hindsight, it's actually insane that this team had that elite of a goalie tandem. A HOF goalie in his prime who was a model of season-to-season consistency was in a legit goalie controversy. It's not like it was some fan/media manufactured controversy, Schneider at his peak was a wall.

It is. However, Luo was inconsistent in big games in the playoffs. You never knew what you were going to get.

Absolutely. Bure gave no f***s.
Two Canucks duking it out. Obviously, I loved long time Canuck Bieksa, but in Dorsett's short time with the Canucks I liked him too. He always stood up for his Canuck teammates. He got a shitty deal in the end with his neck injury.
