Red Wingers and Detroit Tigers owner Mike Ilitch passes away at 87 years old.
RIP.
Props to Mr. Ilitch for bringing Hockeytown and multiple Stanley Cups to the city of Detroit. He was instrumental in the revitalization of Detroit's downtown core.
Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!

This is so true for this franchise. Canucks have a history of giving milestone moments to their opponents.
Examples: Marleau scoring his 500th goal during a game against this team.
Gretzky scoring his record breaking goal to beat Gordie Howe's all time goal scoring record when the Great One played for the Kings. FYI, Kirk Mclean was in net for the goal. Goal no. 802 for Gretzky. -not that it was Captain Kirk's fault on the goal. -shitty defence as usual.

I remember when the Canucks first joined the NHL. Everyone was ecstatic. We were all looking forward to watching the other teams play. If it weren't for the VanHoover Cannots, we wouldn't be able to say we watched Gretzky's goal or every other god damn team's and players' milestones. There is a silver lining to every dark cloud.
god bless the van hoover cannots.

1st point of the season for Rodrigues. Of course that'd be against us. Oh, and the Canucks could have challenged that goal, pretty close to offside there :/

Wasn't that long ago that these two teams joined the NHL together. We got Linden and they got Perreault. Both teams have yet to win the cup.
Spoiler!
In 1970, two new franchises were awarded in the NHL — the Buffalo Sabres and the Vancouver Canucks. It was a foregone conclusion Perreault would be the first selection in the 1970 Entry Draft. The two new teams took part in a roulette wheel spin to determine who would get the first pick. Ultimately, the Canucks were allocated numbers 1-10 on the wheel, while the Sabres had 11-20. When league president Clarence Campbell spun the wheel, he initially thought the pointer landed on 1 and started to congratulate the Vancouver delegation. However, Sabres coach/general manager Punch Imlach asked Campbell to check again. As it turned out, the pointer was on 11.[8] Imlach had chosen 11 for the roulette wheel spin because it was his favourite number.[5] This was the first year the Montreal Canadiens did not have a priority right to draft Québécois junior players. Consequently, Perreault was available and taken first overall by the Sabres.[9]
Coincidentally, Perreault had worn #11 throughout his junior career, and kept it in Buffalo in honour of the roulette wheel choice.
My bad.......... what was I thinking.........Linden was born in 1970, gulololol. Anyway, carry on carrying on.
EDIT: Dale Talon. Damn, from a 1 to 11. Spinning wheel of death.
