Paul_Kariya28 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Best player to ever play for the Canucks ever and still no retired number pretty sad but awesome to see him HHOF finally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believeinblue Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Although Bure (arguably one of the best Canucks players of all time), his number should not be honored by the Canucks organization. That would be a huge insult to Bure and his family to only honour him after he gets recognized be HHOF. It was a mistake by the Canucks organization not to raise his number to the rafters before his induction to the HHOF. It's like, "oh hey you want to recognize me as part of your organization now just cause i got in the HHOF despite hating on me all these years for what i've done?"

cIutch Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hall of famer as a Canuck. He very well should have his jersey retired here. Cheers. TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2016 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 imo ROH at least before we win at least one cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Definetly deserves to have #10 retired in the rafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van_City123 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Should be in the ring of honour at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewonder20 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 How many former Canucks are in the HHOF? Sundin doesn't even count, since he only played here for half a year. Yes, Bure's jersey belongs in the rafters. He was by far, the most exciting Canuck to watch on the ice, bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believeinblue Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 You could make the same argument for Patrick Roy, however. Roy was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006, but did not have his jersey retired by the Montreal Canadiens until 2008. He also left on bad terms with that franchise. Nearly everybody in Montreal is glad now that Roy's number has been retired. Hopefully, Bure's number can be retired soon. His induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame only gives more reason for the Canucks to pay tribute to his contribution to this franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Might as well retire Messier's number also because he is a HOFamer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mssnowstorm Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 bure was great but at this point id like a cup before another retired number ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Have to admit though, it seems odd that Pavel Bure is not up there. I think he was the best player the Vancouver franchise ever had, arguably the best player in the world for at least 2 or 3 years. Pavel should be up there.

justsayin Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Should be in the ROH but he won't be. And I don't think #10 should be retired. Pavel Bure will always be remembered as a Canuck but I just don't think the team is interested in any sort of association with him at all. Minutes after the HHOF inductions were announced, the Florida Panthers send out a series of congratulatory tweets to Pavel: Florida Panthers @FlaPanthers No comment yet from the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Reitred, without him our Franchise could have potentially folded. Pat Quinn just made a great point on the team 1040, and he was talking about how our team coming out of the late 80's were really struggling/both on the ice and as a franchise, only drawing 7'000 people on average. That young group of Linden, McLean, Adams and others really pulled this franchise from the brink and Bure was the biggest piece of them all, he gave us that big star and put us on the map. It's possible that our franchise wouldn't be where it is without him, we could have turned out to be like Winnipeg and ended up losing our team halfway through the 90's without Pavel. His Number should be up in the rafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westcoasting Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I hope the doctors are able to extract your head from where it currently resides. Bure as a Canuck in comparison to Messier as a Canuck are two completely different animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
