  1. Looking for Canucks Fans from the 1970s/80s to help me with a few names as I am making a top 10 Canucks enforcers/fighters. The basic requirement would be they were Canucks for at least 100 games (Season+). Only problem is, I don't know any of the older tough guys (I do have Jack McIlhargy) but basing it just off of career PIMs isn't ideal, wanting names for big, mean, and nasty enforcers/fighters.

      @NewbieCanuckFan How would you have described Tanti as a player, then? Was he one of those guys like Brendan Morrison who had his best career years because of the line he played on? Or was he still really good at doing things to create space, did he hit? fast? BTW, this thread has been awesome. We need a Canucks Nostalgia Fire Side chat thread, I am a nostalgia nerd and constantly come across players I have questions about. Just the other day I read a cool story about how Troy Gamble was supposed to be the guy and it came down to Kirk McLean wanting it more and earning the spot whereas Troy sort of fizzled out, but was a huge prospect.

      @diesel_3  Kind of like a Luc Robitaille (but with better skating ability).  Knew how to find the "right spots" and/or good anticipation.  All he needed was the 'right center' to feed him the puck (and that guy was Sundstrom).  Bear in mind, this is from the perspective of a non-teenager (*me* lol).:P

       

      Yeah Troy Gamble was like a Eddie Lack - lots of potential.  But he just couldn't get over that final hump to the 'big leagues' like at least Eddie Lack did.  That's why goalie prospects are pretty risky.  Good thing the Canucks (unlike what Burke said "goalies graveyard') have been good at developing goalies for a while now (gives me hope for Demko being the future starter).

      I hope Boeser (other than staying healthy heh) could find that sustained magic with EP (though in Boeser's defense, he seems to be able to score no matter who is center is - he just can't stay healthy).
