Mark Messier believes he's still owed money from his days with the Canucks

tell him to go eat crap with Iron Mike. That era was a JOKE. Set us back atleast 10 years.

[nucks all the way]

I think he owes Linden two apologies: one for that disgusting cheap shot in Game 6, '94; and another for later coming back and having the audacity to take away his captaincy a few years later.

This is probably the face Bieska showed when he heard about this:

I think it's time Bieska tells him to take a nap or play around of golf.. oh wait.. I forgot, Messier probably can't afford to play a round of golf since he is still trying to milk out money from the Canucks (it's been more than a decade since).

I guess this is what happens when Messier entered senile-hood too early... He is more than a decade late. Attention-seeker much

I would think that this issue doesn't really relate to the current ownership. The current ownership would have bought the team under the assumption that financial accounts are accurate. I can't see how they would be legally liable.

Mediation basically means the two sides are going to meet and talk. I would assume they are doing this first to avoid any conflict and out of courtesy. The nucks want to avoid looking bad on this so they probably had no choice but to honor the proposal - however this doesn't mean anything.

However, while I am not a lawyer I don't see how a new ownership can be responsible if some irregularities did occur. I would think his claims would apply to the old owner.

Does anyone remember that huge Messier mural that was on Granville Street downtown on the side of the hotel on Granville & Davie. He had that stupid smile of his, all smug look at me I will bring Stanley Cups to Vancouver, and all that bullsh__!! He was one of the worst things to happen to the Canuck franchise ever.

Check facts he's been fighting it for years.

ate away his Lay's money that fast???

[nuck nit]

The mention of Messier is a nightmare.

Who needs bad dreams of ugly men without class so close to Christmas?

I think Messier owes me a couple of bucks actually - for tickets that I bought during the lowest point in the clubs history....I was so happy when they let the moose loose!

Mark Messier can eat Keenan's rancid feces if he wants any money from Vancouver.

I think Canucks fans might pony up to watch that.

[Dipseydoodle]

I'll be interested to see how this unfolds. It's already been pushed back from 2007, and who knows if he is looking for the full amount, or if management will attempt to pay him a partial lump sum. I hope that it is resolved quickly. Vancouver really doesn't need another black mark against it from 'failure to pay money owed' ie Bure, and Larionov (sp?)

[M. Grabner]

Someone needs to make a sign:

"Messier, you owe us fans money for your play here. There's my 2cents, keep the change."

This is one of those threads where I would love to come in rip apart posters for comments and incorrect facts.

But really the comments here speak for themselves.

I will say this, there are a lot of Dave Bollands in this thread.

I believe the Canucks are still owed play from Mark Messier's days collecting money from the Canucks.

[Panjodh]

I seriously hate that guy..... I feel like slapping him across the face

[Zigmund.Palffy]

Protest this !

[Peter Gunn]

Don't award him any money, just give him what he deserves.

CHIP ?????

Honestly, in that commercial he wasn't offering the kid a chip, he was asking the kid what it was. GENIUS!!!
