Ha, was going to post that very same thing, Joe. So proud of that fine gentleman. Like another I know. Somewhere buried in my treasures I have a pen that, when you push on the end, it has a recording of the "he'll play" call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, Joe, not doing the pony thing as much. The new job is exhausting and weekends are much sought after "down/rest" time. Was going to go for BC Day, but it was so hot that I opted out and hit the beach with my book instead. One other thing that I'd thought of that I am SO proud of is the way this community of Canuck fans has come together as a family. I mentioned "this place" but, truth be told, it's huge to see this sort of community. I've been to other sports forums/platforms and they're so different. Opposing opinions are quickly sifted out and you have to be of the pack mentality to remain. Here it's a real come as you are mentality - young, old, male, female, all walks of life and different parts of the world. I truly am in awe of how, for the most part, everyone's opinions and ideas are welcome and even though there are debates and disagreements, no one is ousted because of them. I wish the world as a whole could be more tolerant and this place is a good example of how you don't have to agree or all share the same ideas to belong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 On a personal basis, I am proud to be a lifelong Canuck fan who first started following the Canucks around 1981. As for the Canucks, there is no single one defining moment. I am just proud that the Canucks are truly BC's team. Won or lose I like all things Canucks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithers joe Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 i forgot that robson duo, thank you. i agree with deb on people on cdc, we can disagree on issues but we can still be family and care about each other. other than some disrespect, i love this site and my fellow fans. i also have to thank babe pratt for being a reason i’m proud of the canucks. i did thank him when he was alive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Top 10: 1.Sedins 2. Naslund 3. Bure 4. Luongo 5. Burrows 6. Benning 7. Bertuzzi 8. Pettersson 9. Boeser 10. Jovanovski Honourable Mentions: - Horvat - Ohlund - Rypien - Smyl - McLean - Edler - Salo - Schneider - Kesler - Cooke TBH I could probably list every single Canuck in history and can proudly say I'm proud of them all. Definitely more proud of them than disappointed. Linden not even an honorable mention? Go back and watch game 7 of 94. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Wow did not expect everyone to post such amazing content... Really put me in a good mood reading everyone's comments. No better way to start of my Saturday morning than reading all these great posts. Feeling proud as ever to call this OUR team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The way Pat Quinn Made the Canucks a team that truly loves this community. If it wasn't for Pat we would not be one of the best in the league at working with the community and raising money for Charitable organizations around our province.

Nucker 67 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I wanted to add the Sedins. Having them play their entire careers in VAN and being identical twin brothers who were true superstars. This will never be repeated in NHL history IMO. They were phenomenal. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigerian Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Proudest moment was being part of the riots. With all the destruction going on from the idiots, I still remember seeing a lot of true CANUCKS trying to stop the madness and helping people out. Even after the terrible loss. True Canucks, fam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I'm proud of the fact that this is such a fun team to follow despite the lack of cups. We get ragged on a LOT by fans of other teams for having no cups but I feel like the majority of crap talking fans of the other teams weren't even alive to enjoy their last cup win and have just been watching their own teams be mediocre for the past decade. I couldn't give less of a crap about a team's history before I became a fan in 2003. We've had some absolutely dominant seasons and teams that were just a blast to watch that have left me with some awesome memories despite not winning a cup. I wouldn't trade those memories for cheering for a team with a "rich history" that hasn't had anything to be excited about for decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping to one day be as proud of Bo and Petey as I was with Bure and Linden. So far so good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
