  1. A little off topic, but ones that got away, in the same draft, 1979 Jake Milford did a pretty good job in rounds 1 and 2 selecting Rick Vaive and Brent Ashton. NOt the best players in their rounds but solid picks. Round 3 Ken Ellacot, 1 pick before the Oil took Mark Messier Round 4 Art Rutland, 1 pick before Glenn Anderson Rutland scored 139 points in the Soo playing with Paul Coffey but 0 nhl games
  2. why not the 73game schedule I proposed earlier?
  3. the Purple and Gold were sweet too, until some one mentioned that it was a queens crown. I like the commontary too, "everyones waltzing around, they should play a little music" classic
  4. thanks , I didn't know you cared it is also Doug Favell's day as well
  5. lottery for Cup It worked good for Pittsburg during the Crosby draft Oh scrap that, just give Pittsburg the Cup
  6. Hipppies would screw it up, you knowthey would
  7. Hey is it time to open the time capsule? I bet nobody guessed the season would turn out like this.
  8. upon further inspection, Richards contract was up after 2011. So, either we lose him to the Rangers with no return, or we match and sign him for $6.666 until this season (with ful NMC, because that's what we did back then) and he becomes Loui E at +$.666/yr. on a possitive note that contract is up this year, woot
  9. I would trade Horvat today for a Cup in 2011 Richards had 2x 15 pts , a 14 and a 12 pt playoffs since 2008, as well he was a Conn Smythe winner, and he would have been a tradable asset, so we might have got Bo anyway. Kesler was good in 2011 though But while Richards was slightly higher ppg in the playoffs than Kesler, he did have a 1 point in 10 game season, and Canuck luck suggests that might have been 2011 had we traded for him. I think he would have killed our cap, $2.8 over the cost of Kesler, so some loss of depth
  10. I need a good cry every now and then, I think I'll watch 94
  11. Yes about Luongo, but I was not thrilled with giving up Peca , it was like the Canucks wanted to go full throttle no D just as the dead puck era was about to start. Messier Ericksson Potvin Boothe all deals that seemed to take forever to happen, and then when they did is was like, "I had hoped it would never happen"
  12. yup, I remember a story about Brasheer getting a speeding ticket and using the "Do you know who i am?" line it was a tough time to be a fan, that is for sure. But it is funny cuz its in this thread, and over in the Judd Brackett thread the sentiment is Brackett is easily replacable. I know its a stretch, but it shows how easily things go wrong when you lose one or two important pieces and replace them with the wrong pieces. hey I just looked Messier up on HockeyDB, it says he was traded from Edmonton to NYR and from the Rangers to San Jose in 2003. Its like his time here didn't happen. We should have been so lucky. Remember that time we ALMOST signed Messier? whew Lucky that never happened!!! haha https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=3688
  13. we also had Mogilney and a not happy to be here Bure, Brasheer, Ciccone and Sean Burke there was lots of trouble on that team
  14. hey you forgot Rod Buskus and Dave Capuanno. Of the 6 Quinn had the most left but we got Dave Capuanno just as his career was peaking After Quinn left Vancouver he turned into his own version of Suitcase Quinn
  15. but what would his carre been like if we had traded for Steve Nash?
  16. and remember Gillis said, "there is another team interested, and you might be surprized" ... ... still waiting
