    lol...Gino would still protect Bure even when traded.  Somebody ran at Bure (think Bure was a Panther then & Odjick was a Hab) and Gino just said something like "sooner or later than punk will have to play Montreal, and I'll be there to return the receipt" :lol:).

    See Gino was awesome, they were brothers from another mother and Gino was the big brother to protect and let little brother shine.

    All well and good but schenn was chasing a cup. He didn't want to sign here. Said when he seen his brother get the cup he wanted a chance at it. 

    He wasn't chasing a cup he was chasing the opportunity to play in the NHL still he was becoming an AHL player until Canucks signed him, actually traded for him my bad.

     

    Edit:

    Looking back at it, it does look like he said this regarding chasing the cup, shocks me a bit just because his career looked to be heading down the AHL path and it wasn't until Canucks gave him a chance he basically got a 2nd chance at the NHL. I know Tampa waived him that year last year and he was waived this year already as well.

    Gino didn't have to though.  Bure took matters into his own hands when somebody tried to go after him.

     

     

    Granted, anybody would get tough when having Gino backup you up.

    Gino still had to protect, but Bure also wasn't afraid to do things like this eventually players snap. Look at Pettersson this year he two handed slashed a guy in the chest out of frustration, but does that mean he doesn't need protection now... No.
