Brodie Deryk Engelland Matt Bartkowski Dennis Wideman Where: Rogers Arena When: 7:00 PM http://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/five-things-about-new-pat-quinn-statue-at-rogers-arena Five things about the Pat Quinn statue: CAPTURING QUINN: The statue was created by Vancouver sculptor Norm Williams, who also designed the nearby statue of late Canucks coach Roger Neilson at Rogers Arena. Williams says his biggest challenge was capturing Quinn’s powerful presence. “With Quinn it was his stature and his physical size … He was the kind of guy that if he walked into a room everything would stop for a minute,” said Williams. RUN FOR THE CUP: Williams’ statue depicts Pat Quinn behind the bench coaching the Canucks during the club’s 1994 run to the Stanley Cup Final. In his hand, Quinn is holding a roster card engraved with each player’s name from that 1994 team. PAT’S BENCH: The public installation also includes Pat’s Bench for fans to sit and have their photos taken. The Canucks say the idea for Pat’s Bench had its origins when Quinn coached Team Canada to gold at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. During the 2002 Games, Quinn would often sit on a certain bench outside of Canada House and athletes from all sports would come and chat with him about anything and everything. TEAM SPIRIT: The Canucks say the statue’s overall depiction reflects Quinn’s belief that all were part of the team, including fans, and it was created with that inclusion in mind. His legacy will also be reflected through the Pat Quinn Scholarship, which is being developed to allow hockey players and athletes to continue their pursuit of a professional degree or designation upon completion of their post-secondary education and intercollegiate athletic careers. WHERE TO FIND IT: The statue has been installed in Toyota Plaza near Pat Quinn Way, a city street, formerly a section of Abbott Way, that was dedicated to the Hockey Hall of Famer in 2015. The Canucks say the statue is part of a legacy project created by a small group of Quinn’s former colleagues, partners, family friends and fans who wanted to create a permanent legacy of Pat Quinn’s impact on hockey and Canadians from coast to coast to coast. The City of Vancouver and the Canucks were also contributing partners in the statue’s development and installation.

Johnny Hockey was tired of being small, his clothes didn't fit him, he couldn't reach his top locker, it was all going downhill that he was even demoted to the 4th line against Arizona. He was also the shortest kid of his graduating class. Also, let's not forget his supermodel girlfriend did break up with him. He decided to take matters in his own hand, to prove that he was a tough young man. He challenged Nikita Tryamkin to a fight. He came well prepared to the fight, full of confidence and with a helmet. And that was the last time we heard of Johnny Hockey. Moral of this story: Never mess with Tryamkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete13 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 After Tryamkin pummels him, he'll be known as Johnny Bench. Minny did a hatchet job on him earlier this year. Ferkland was nowhere to be found. It took Johnny multiple games to feel well enough to play again. I'd love to see the Canucks play Johnny hard tonight.

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Basically if they lose this one, be sellers at the deadline. But don't hold your breath, I think there won't be many trades this year, unless someone like the Rangers, Penguins, Montreal want to go all in.

Cramarossa Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 That pic of Johnny Hockey Gnome in drag gave me chills…. Bad chills. I predict this game we finally see my baby Granny bag his first NHL hat trick, just in time to rub it in the Lames' faces. At the very least I'd like to see him pot a goal (but more would be better). Canucks win 6-3, other goals by Dank, Bo, and Honey Badger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Great thread @J-23 lets hope Nik has now learned to take numbers of players that play on the "line".. and considering Ferlands late stinger the last time they met, Nik loosens a few board screws with Ferland. I am lucky to have watched Pat Quinn play and Coach hockey,. I was also lucky enough to have had a chance encounter and candid chat with him about 4 years ago, where I was able to tell him, I thought he was a treasure to this City, Province and Country. Thank-you again, for some wonderful memories Mr Quinn. Really think the rink should be dubbed.. "The Q". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This is the season IMO. 6 points from a playoff spot. 20ish games to go. This is one of the few 4 point games left. We essentially need to play 7-3-1 hockey the rest of the way to make it in the playoffs AND a bit of luck. That starts with the Calgary game. Fate is 100% in the Canucks hands, lets hope the stars step up to the plate. Need the Sedins, Eriksson, Edler and Miller to play well. If they do, we'll make the playoffs. If they disappear so will we. We know Bo and the young guys will bring it, now we need the veterans to provide something. 3-1 Canucks in a tight playoff-like game.

alfstonker Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I see this very close. If we had Baertschi available I would have been more confident. Calgary are deeper and more physical but I actually think with the exception of the 1st line we play a faster game. Hopefully we get 100% from everyone tonight and we manage a win. 4-3 in OT - maybe.

HorvatToBaertschi Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This is a must win. I hope the boys are ready and come out flying. We are a better team than Calgary when we play the way we can. Problem is our consistency. I say the boys are amped up, lead by the Sedins and horvat all the way to a statement 5-1 victory.
