Bertuzzi Babe Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It is a weak press release and he is lumped in with Mats Sundin and it is not even the top story. It IS a snub. That is my opinion. You don't like it. Tough luck cookie. I'm not the only one that shares that point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I think you need to relax. I'll bet someone is hard at work putting a Best of video together for Bure to post to the website as soon as humanly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauii Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wow...Congratulations Bure!! Finally!! By far the most exciting player ever. I should frame my Bure jersey. Is he the first Canuck to make it to the HHOF? Canucks organization should do him right and honor him. He was and had been outstanding for this team, and always gave it his all until the end.

Donky Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 If you're so upset about it (as your twitter comments and your comments here seem to indicate), why aren't you sending off emails fast and furiously to the Canucks org instead of trying to stir up people here who are just enjoying and celebrating the fact that Pavel Bure has been elected to the HHOF? Perhaps your time would be better spent organizing the ticker tape parade down Robson and petitioning the Mayor's Office to set aside one day a year as Pavel Bure Day than trying to stir up crap in a thread of celebration for The Russian Rocket?

nuck nit Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Pavel is now in his rightful place. Fitting that he has not been honored in Vancouver,isn't it? Our only true HHOF inductee and the Canucks organization have been classless. Kind of warms your heart to see Pavel stick it right up their noses.Corporate twits.

nuck nit Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I visited the Vancouver Canucks website and searched for Pavel in the 'All Time Players' category. http://canucks.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8455738 On this page of the Vancouver's HHOF inductee the Canucks org cannot even put up a photo of his face. One can find photos of obscure Vancouver Canucks that played for the team,as in the case of Kris Beech,whom played four games for the Canucks. http://canucks.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8467880 I am left to wonder why this organization thinks they are more special than the superstars that built their franchise and paid their salaries? The disrespect this franchise has shown Pavel is so grossly evident from these,the smallest of indications. I guess fat cat corporate types think karma is not applicable to their fat rear ends but then again,it is now going on 43 years. Note to front office: Honor your most beloved veterans over your pathetic interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotdawg Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well deserved. Pavel was a cut above the rest, and could excite the crowd on his own not seen since the days of Lafluer and Orr. One of the best of all time. Thanks to Pat Quinn for drafting him. Too bad Burke is weak on airport eticate though. If I was drafted by a Russian team and no-one was there to greet me for 10 days I'd never want to play for or respect them either. Full marks to Pavel for sticking it out here for as long as he did! Canuck fans will always love you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I grew up in the '90s in an isolated area of Northern BC. No cable was available. I was limited to standing by my Dad's old radio playing with the antena to get CKNW AM 980 broadcasts. Not easy to have that kind of patience when you're 8 or 9 years old, but Pavel Bure made it all worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
