Damn, I'm getting too old. Mos tof those people are the stars of the 90's that I'm very well aware of. At this day and age, I don't even know much of the players in the all star games.

"Kings Ransom" is on TSN right now an hour long special by ESPN highlighting the trade of gretzky from Edmonton to LA

i made a thread about it
HAHAHA
but yes
this is fucking good

pocklinton is in jail now

i read an article on the making of the Kings Random special, i really want to watch it but i'm stuck at work like usual :(

Bure's jersey isn't retired mainly because of the way he left. I'm pretty confident his jersy would have been retired already otherwise imo.

Joe Nieuwendyk has a good shot. 3 cups.

Who knows. Different management now. I just wish Bure recieved the same type of treatment from the Franchise as Luongo is receiving. Bure would've happily been the cornerstone of our franchise.

Discrediting your own player to lowball him is beyond douchebaggery. Pulling a contract bait and switch (from USD to CAD) as well is just so sleazy I actually support any employee walking away from any employer under the same circumstances.

Which one is the bear?

Goal celebration goes wrong lol

Jersey retirements are going to die out no matter what standards or anything they may end up bringing in for it... I mean... some time in the distant future if they keep retiring jerseys they flat out run out of numbers to use on the team LOL... look at a team like Montreal, over 100 years in the NHL they could easily have retired like 30+ guys by now but they just can't because there'll be no numbers left for current or future players haha!

I remember playing NHL 94 on pc with most of these players. Bure was a speedster in the game.

anyway, Sergei Makarov doesn't ring a bell. It does remind me of this though:

There's a part of me who loved Naslund and part of me who hated Naslund during his career as a Canuck. Overall he had a great NHL career and put up impressive numbers but at the end of his career his numbers dropped and I started questioning his leadership. However, I think overall he does deserve to have his number retired. The positives out way the negatives and let's not forget the amazing things he did for the kids off the ice. There are not too many players out there who put the extra effort to help out within the community like Naslund did.

and you kno what, i totally agree with this statement
but knowing how jerseys are retired left right and center,
theres something inside me that says that the organization will frabicate the legacy more so than what he has done for this team.

edit: LOL?

wrong thread I think lol!

THE FUCK LOL

I could've sworn I posted in this thread http://www.revscene.net/forums/last-...d-t596228.html

:haha::haha:

Linden prior to 95, meant a lot to the team.

Linden after the 95 season, no not so much. As much of a great guy he is he has never accomplished anything beyond that 94 season where we had a superstar forward and a all-star goalie. You can argue it was him that got us to the finals that year but I will always remember that overtime goal by Bure in game 7 agaisnt the Flames.

I'm not saying Linden shouldn't have been honored by the team but I'm saying he hasn't done anything Naslund hasn't.

on the ice Nazzy wins for sure

but the heart and soul of Trevor Linden to the city and the organization is what makes him stand out amongst the rest.

Trevor Linden has called our city his home. He lives here, he enjoys it here and to this day, is still captain canuck.

Nazzy, like Bure, is going to be remembered more for the on ice production rather than anything off the ice. Nazzy's Suite was cool, but thats like Lu's Crease.... The typical stuff like visit hospitals, the team does this anyways

The thing is, if your gonna throw Naslund beside Linden and Smyl, why not send Ohlund up there when he's retired, no one has talked about that either, and he is the GREATEST Canuck defenceman. I believe he already surpassed Jyrki Lumme to take that position

the leafs have a tough policy for retiring a player's number - the player would have to have suffered a career-ending injury or died while still a member of the team and played a significant role on that team. only two players, Ace Bailey and Bill Barilko, have had their numbers retired for those reasons respectively. the long standing policy has been to simply honour a player, hang their name and jersey number in the rafters but still allow current players to wear that number.

Don't forget about Kopitar. When did he become such a beast :confused:

Fuck, this break is killing me. I want Canucks hockey!

Kev

:lol u guys see the "disallowed" goal by bray may last night? the refs are smoking crack
