BuretoMogilny Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I love all those mentioned but I think people's age for the most part is showing, as I think alot on here weren't old enough or around to know how good Bure and Mogilny were. If you are talking about "Prime" I can't really see how anyone could choose anything but Bure and Mogilny, my handle aside lol. Pavel Bure lifted people from his seats every time he touched the puck and in his prime was arguably one of the most dangerous scorers of his time. Mogilny was a constant threat, terrific speed and hands and scored 76 goals in this league, how many other guys have done that or better? 3 - Gretzky, Lemiuex and Hull - pretty terrific company to be in (and Selanne and Esposito tied). Now granted we didn't have him that year (76g), but if you're talking Prime...well...hard to argue that... Sedins have grown into stars but did not have the longevity of high scoring seasons, nor did Naz and Bert, very similar. Injuries are all that stopped Bure and Mogilny from being considered all time greats (like Yzerman/Sakic etc). Even with the injuries Bure clearly has with his induction into the Hall of Fame, I think Mogilny would have easily made it without injuries. So all in, I'd say Bure and Mogilny. Two more that should have been added for their greatness as Canucks Sundstrom/Tanti Gradin/Smyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's gotta be the Sedins. Bert and Nazzy would've won this one cleanly in my mind before the Sedins came by. They're up there with the best duos of all-time no less with just the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 1st second third line duo's that would be a great team. Be sick if NHL 13 could allow you to take any player from canucks history and pop em in the lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler's Nose Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Bertuzzi and Nazzy. "Bertuzzi Nalsund SCORES!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas19 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Naslund and Bertuzzi for me. I realize that the Sedin twins have been more successful but I don't care. Naslund is my favorite player ever and Bert was his bro, so I'll always vote for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Sedins without a doubt. The accomplishments they've made with our team far exceeds the other duos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman60 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Based upon talent to score and make things happen.....Bure/Mogilny. That said, I wouldn't really want them both on the ice together. There is no one who can do what Bure did and at the speed at which he could dangle. Mogilny was a super talent who could pot goals with the best but was a bit of a enigma. The Sedins if I was picking a pair that work the best together but if you basing your choice on goal scoring ability....Bure/Mogilny hands down. If I was picking a pair based upon character and skill....the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman60 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If they were so good, where are their Art Rosses? (Not saying that they weren't amazing players, all I'm saying is that the Sedins are really, really good, and ten years from now people will be saying the same things about them.)

Bissurnette Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The Sedins hands down... their point production alone speaks volume. Back to back Art Ross Trophy, and soon to be all time leaders in points for the Canucks franchise (not to mention Hank winning the Hart trophy a couple of years ago).

uber_pwnzor Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 If the Sedins were competeing for the Art Ross against players like Gretsky or Lemieux, they wouldn't have an Art Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Bure and Mogilny didn't really have much success together here. Mogilny's best season was when Bure played only 15 games. They were fantastic individual players no doubt but accomplished nothing as linemates. Naslund and Bertuzzi had great chemistry and were exciting to watch but it was fairly short lived. I'd have to go with the Sedins by a long-shot. Back to back Art Ross trophies in addition to many fantastic offensive years (and overall longevity as a duo).

nux4lyfe Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Sedins no question! Best 1-2 punch in the league hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Did Bure or Naslund ever win the Art Ross or Hart? Didn't think so. The Sedins are the two best players this franchise has ever seen period, and quite frankly it's not very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Exactly...Yes, Henrik beat Bure's points record for the Canucks, but Bure got 110 points in the middle of the clutch-and-grab era...Henrik got 112 in the far more open game now. Bure in his prime could easily score 70 goals in today's NHL - that's almost as many as the entire Sedin line this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Alexander Cody Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Naslund and Bertuzzi. I'd vote the Sedins but no line was more feared than the West Coast Express. Now? We see almost every team have dynamic duos. But back in the day, only the WCE was the most dominant and feared line in the NHL. Sure there were some duos then as well but nothing beats the WCE which started it all for the Vancouver Canucks. Hamhuis/salo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
