  1. I read just a joke in a book of Canadian trivia: Visitor, speaking to a young Vancouverite: "Does it ever stop raining here?" Child: "How should I know, I'm only 6" We could sure use some here in California. In general, I only miss the rain a little. Until I look at the lawn and garden, then I miss it a little more.
  2. That was going to be my guess. How about Lars Molin? Jersey number doesn't seem right, but maybe it's a pre-season game?
  3. Cam "why did we really trade him???" Neely
  4. Saw Grand Budapest Hotel recently. it was OK. To caveat, I'm not a huge Anderson fan, but Tenenbaum's was good. I don't feel worse for having seen it, but I have no need to watch it again. Definitely some funny parts. 6/10, I guess.
  5. At first glance, I was thinking Dunc Wilson (not sure if he was #30 or not), but looking at the end of his name, I gotta to with Cesar Maniago
  6. Thanks.. I was going to look things up, just to see who else had done something similar. Looks like some nice company there.
  7. Bummer. My other choice was Tallon. If it ain't him, I'm stumped. Basically I'm working from old images of hockey cards dancing in my head. Images getting more old and worn each day as work squeezes out the good ol' days. In any case, thanks to all to those who post pics in here. This is a fun thread.
  8. Think I have it narrowed down to two, but I'll go with Pat Quinn as my first guess.
  9. That's one I can get first try, although not sure if I'll spell it correctly if I don;t look it up. Dennis Vervegart. Funny story, first time my parents got seats in the reds in the Colliseum, my mother yelled something derogatory towards him, for playing soft in her opinion. he turned around and said "F-you lady". Mom was uses to yelling from the blues seats and not being heard by players, so it was a bit of an awakening for her.
  10. Thinking this is Lidster, but I remember him looking different. Maybe just the ugly jersey he is wearing
  11. My bad, Tim Hunter. Should have gone with that first, given the face. Would have been easier if it was a profile, but it's not your job to make it easy!
  12. Bure for sure. Was gonna say McLean until I saw the jersey. Can't think who might've worn 30 back then. I'll take a stab at Whitmore, seems around the right timeframe.
  13. He's before the Orca's time, but just looking at his face, he looks a bit like Rick Lanz. I know it isn't him, but no idea who he is.
  14. CBGB 8/10 Stars Alan Rickman, and was a very interesting movie. Didn't know anything about it going in, but was just flipping channels, and it looked so good I found out when it was on next and DVR'd it. Supposed to be a fairly factual account of the origins of the CBGB club and the owner, Hilly Kristal. Lots of good 70's and 80's punk/alternative, if you're into that at all.
  15. Bobby Schmautz? Looks familiar, but that was a while ago.
  16. Shaky, FYI you also posted a link on Tommernes. I never would have gotten it otherwise.
  17. I figure that has to be Willie Mitchell. He sure has a distinct smile. Of course, if I'm wrong, then I guess it's either not that distinct, or I am easily confused. Either way, glad I could finally contribute to this thread. I remember seeing the thread months ago and thought I would be good at it, given my many years as a fan poring over the team pics in the Shopper's Drug Mart calendars each year. Sure are a lot of them in this thread I don't recognize though.
  18. There have been many comments blaming Torts for Edler's play last year... comments I am on board with. Did anyone pay attention to him in the Olympics? I didn't watch much so I can't comment, but it would be interesting to see how well he did compared to his teammates under a different coach, presumably one who can appreciate his style and skill set. Just a thought... I don't know either way. I just thought it could give an interesting perspective to how much impact the coach has on him and the style he was asked to play. I've got my fingers crossed for a bounce-back year for a number of the guys, especially Edler. If he returns to what he can be, and Garrison figures out how to put shots in the net rather than too many feet away from it, our D would be quite solid.
  19. If you remember Bure & Mogilny, you should remember '94. IMO, the way that series went, the Rangers don't deserve a Cup until Vancouver gets one!
