Thanks for the reply.  I assume you're commenting about my lengthy support of the Canucks (since 1970).  I also spent 10 years in Alberta and had to put up with my friends who were Flames fans.  1989 was especially painful (Flames won the cup). No point in changing allegiances now.  Now, I guess I just wear the pain as a badge of honour  - not much else to do.  I hope I live long enough to see the Canucks hoist a cup.

How brutal was it at the time the Canucks missed out on a guy like Gilbert Perrault and ended up with Dale Talon. Were people pissed? I assume they would be pissed.

remember the whl and the pcl canucks? i go back to jean beliveau and the 6 team league. 

i remember the donnie brooks the canucks and n.w. royals used to have. the quinn and kurtenback scrap. i would have liked to have seen that.
