canuckpuckluck1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 When the last " live " game you saw was at the Pacific Colosseum, tickets purchased through Safeway for $10 and Gino was punching Blackhawks in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Or tie large rectangular sponges to your legs. It was always the most fun in winter when it snowed enough that you could body check your friends into the yards and it was soft landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 You remember when the Canuck team mascot was a tough, skating logger named "Johnny Canuck" and not a crapping whale. No, because it never was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 You woke up to the 9431st edition of the Roving Mic because your clock radio was tuned to the game on NW the night before. Mr Mikes the big poster/ calendars from Shoppers Drug Mart you still have 77-78 with Shakey, Cesare, Lever, and a small moustachioed Harold on the wall Big Al Davidson This should take a few people back when Hughson looked like a teenager....I worked with Randy Hahn in Edmonton a couple of years after this commercial was made.

Quoted Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A couple of the biggest changes to me: - actually having all the games televised. In the early days, there really weren't that many at all. - the Internet. In the days before, there would be a game, you watched a replay if you weren't in the bathroom or kitchen, read about it in the paper the next day and then moved on. There weren't clips to analyze hits down to the microsecond for days and weeks afterwards, no 400 page forum topics about Burrows etc. By the time the next game came around, the previous one was in the past and not forgotten, but certainly no longer being analyzed. It allowed a more pure view of the next game IMO (more isolated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuckleheadFan Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 listening to Jim Robson and the young kid and ex-BC Lions, Tom Larscheid on cknw98 on a 9 volt transistor radio. when you actually got to see a live game or on TV, the skaters didn't wear a helmet. Lanny MacDonald's moustache When Steamer was drafted and watching his first NHL game as a Canuck, and his last game in the NHL and as a Canuck Guy Lafleur before his first retirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffy09 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I think it was the KVOS kids fan club. they'd list ticket winners at the end of the news hour on BCTV or something like that. i used to dial up a number on a rotary phone before school to get the scores from the night before.

Neko Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 You watched the 6 games a year that bc tv actually had games on. haha, we didn't have cable til the late 1980's so we had those 3 channels. We went to Canucks games more often than see them on TV. Most memorable event about going to their games is them coming out with the "V" jersey for the first time and hearing everyone in the arena laugh, that jersey design was a joke and ugly... yeah I'm THAT old.
