The Vancouver Canucks: Great Moments in Time

[Deeds26]

Going to the game tonight, last one was the ass-kicking we gave Calgary last year. So heres hoping for a repeat performance but I will gladly trade an L for a 50/50 win.

If you win the 50/50 perhaps you can video the aftermath and we can add it to this thread then lol

Haha I swear I was in the GDT. Would be an all time Canucks moment if I did win though.

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.

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.

Looked it up and also found this gem from after this incident:

Pratt was and is a complete assclown, and Taylor could so easily push his buttons.

This game in the 2006/2007 was the turning point of the season.
Canucks were playing inconsistent hockey up until that point, this victory against Calgary was the turning point.

Coming into this game they were 17-18-1...they went 32-8-6 after that.

Don't have media but just a general vibe...Those 6 or so months from September 2011 to March 2012 when all of it was coming to roost. The plan looked so good with Hodgson contributing in the offense and we were actually a team deserving of hatred, everyone gunning for us but we'd just win. I miss that. Was a fun time to be a Canucks fan. I'd actually plan my nights out around being able to watch the Canucks on HNIC.

FYI: Dave Pratt as much as I hate him, knew how to make great radio. Sports Talk Radio could and should be analogous at times to those recap shows with the Real Housewives of _____.

Meyers ragdolling Sceviour was pretty good too.

I always felt this was Rypien’s best fight.

Previous game, Janssen had had a long, long bout with Tanner Glass, and he showboated like an idiot afterward. Rypien basically went straight for him in this game, and I took a savage glee in watching Ryp break the asshat’s nose. Rypien absolutely nailed him flush on a number of shots. Great tilt.

I think this was Rypien's funniest fight:

Rypien of course giving up the severe advantage to Janssen by himself having a brain with working nerves and pain sensors etc.

Would be an automatic suspension in todays NHL..

At the time..It was glorious.

Churla basically bragged to the press about how he was going to truck Bure every chance he got, and he'd thrown a number of late / cheap / high hits already, including immediately before Bure's elbow (came in from behind and beside as Bure was regaining his feet)

It was indeed a glorious moment of Bure taking a number and laying him the f*** out. Live by the sword...

I just came here to post this. This video is a little longer and shows how Rypien bloodied Janssen.

What Ryp really excelled at was his defence in fights. His blocking of punches or turning them into glancing blows.

Yeah he used his left arm as a guard unlike anyone I've ever seen.

That run was insane. Do you have highlights to that game? I loved that season in some aspects. The first half of course was so depressingly low scoring it was unbearable, but it turned around on some really good games.

Here's another one - the Salo OT goal where he accidently does a suggestive gesture.

That would be Rypien.

I still remember The Province headline when we won and went up 2-0 "TEXAS TWO-STEP"

I was 16 years old. It was a glorious time.
