Guest Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just hours after Pat Quinn announced Pavel Bure's induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on June 26, 2012, he joined BMac and Taylor on the TEAM 1040 to discuss Pavel's career, his accomplishments, his character, and why Pavel should have his number retired by the Vancouver Canucks. Throughout the interview, Quinn was very supportive of Pavel, offering praise, defending his controversial departure from Vancouver, and providing his opinion on why Bure should have his number retired by the Canucks as well as why Pavel was a special player. "Pavel certainly ranked up there, and when he was on the attack, there was nobody better." "If the Canucks are wise at all, they'll come out and ask him to be there." "If you're going to recognize anybody, you probably should recognize the most electrifying player we've ever had in uniform. We've had some great players, but nobody, nobody, was as electrifying as him." Pat Quinn wholeheartedly supports the retirement of Pavel Bure's number into the rafters of Rogers Arena. This is a follow-up to the Valeri Bure interview posted last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wasn't it because of Quinn and the management team that Pavel left? and wasn't it Quinn that killed the Gretzky deal by calling him during the middle of the night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I listen to a lot of chirping from buddies of other teams in regards to how the Canucks over-hype their alumni. Its funny that when this organization actually has legitimate justification to honour a past player and put him on a pedestal, they fall well short.

Hotdawg Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Better late than never. Pavel was the perfect 10, and no-one will ever be better, so up should go his jersey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Fresh Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 We aren't getting Perry. As for Quinn's idea, I support it 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can125 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This is soooooo over due!!!!!!The best player yet to put on the canucks jersey!!! absolutely should retire his number...it's about time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Pat Quinn. Heart of a Canuck. Pavel Bure. Heart of a Canuck? Hmmm... Don't care. Plenty of 'heartless' players are in the HHOF. And if we're hanging up Smyl, Linden and Naslund, who all likely won't be in the hall, then this team will look, yes, unwise. Besides, ask Shane Churla if Bure played like he didn't care.

Puck'nAnimal Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 As much as I respect Pat Quinn's opinion. "It's not his team any more..." Shouldn't he be more concerned with his own tea-...oh yeah...that's right...he doesn't have one any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 In my opinion the criteria for retiring numbers should be a recognition of talent, and Bure was one of the most electrifying players of his era and one of the premier goal-scorers in NHL history. I agree with Pat Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
