Slegr Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 You guys must all be joking. I love Bure as much as anyone. But you can't compare his "comeback" to an older Selanne ripping it up or Jagr coming back to the NHL. Selanne never had any time away from playing and same goes with Jagr. I can see if Bure played overseas since he retired from the NHL, but no he hasn't. He's been soaking up the sun in Florida and taking judo lessons. Impossible that Bure will ever return to playing competitive hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can125 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 HUGE Bure Fan!! He is the reason I became a Canucks fan. No player in my mind has been more exciting to watch than him. I know there were some bad feelings yrs ago when he left....But come on...WHY HAS HIS NUMBER NOT BEEN RETIRED!!! He was with out a doubt the greatest player who ever played for this team. He brought fans to this team solely because of him. He wanted out in the end because our press hounded him so much (big surprise....they are still doing it to current players now!) We should honor him. Someone get him on the phone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPS Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Even if it was just a publicity stunt, how great would it be if Gillis managed to re-build the bridge between Pavel and the Canucks...then sign him to a PTO just to get Pavel back in a Canucks uniform for a few practices and pre-season games. Then announce that the organization will retire his sweater or add him to the ring on opening night. Even if he never actually played a regular season game....the media and fans would have a field day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheCrease Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sadly, I think we would have solved our "scoring problem" if we signed Bure, as old as he is. I still remember him in his hey-day with the 'Nucks, He got GM Place as well as Pacific Coliseum on their feet. Both he and Mogilny were a hell of a line when I had the opportunity to see them play (against Hartford (the Whalers) - anybody old enough to remember them?)
