  1. So you like bland and boring. To each his own. I saw Buffalo's logo first. When I first saw the SiR I was utterly disappointed. Buffalo had the better logo hands down. Didn't like it from day one. Nobody is saying you have to love the Orca logo. Everybody has different taste and there are other options for fans to purchase. But quit making up lame excuses the Orca doesn't belong. It's just clutching at straws. There's been a longstanding relationship between Vancouver and the Orca ever since Moby Doll in 1964. Ignoring that history doesn't erase it and you won't change the minds of those of us who like the logo. You're just howling at the moon for reason.
  2. Do you understand what "common to the area" means? How many lumberjacks do you see wandering around the city?
  3. SO you're saying Vancouver isn't known for whale watching despite several tours that leave from Vancouver? And we'll just ignore those pesky Orca's that swim into the Burrard inlet. Not to mention how long Orca's were an attraction at the Vancouver aquarium and the history there. You, along with Tiger, are clutching at straws. Just give it up already.
  4. Out' into the Georgia Straight. Victoria is a better location to go out from as between resident and transient they can be found on either side of the island. But when salmon are spawning they are often closer to Vancouver. Hint: salmon spawn up the rivers.
  5. Of course not. When you thinks of Orca's you only pine away for a different hockey logo.
  6. Somebody failed googling... Whale Watching Vancouver | Wild Whales, British Columbia (whalesvancouver.com) Half-Day Whale Watching - Prince of Whales Wildlife & Whale Watching Adventures Vancouver Whale Watch Steveston Seabreeze Adventures – Vancouver Whale Watching
  7. It's kind of like a car wreck on the highway, you don't really want to look but you can't stop yourself.
  8. So improving the team shows he's not a "hockey person". I'd wager if he didn't do these things and refused to spend to the cap you'd say "he's not a hockey person". It's just unfounded spin as you continue to grasp at straws.
  9. And yet they spend to the cap year after year, increased the scouting budget, upgraded the teams facility, and spent on such things as sleep doctors. They even bought their own farm team. Doesn't sound at all like somebody interested in hockey. Keep clutching at straws Tiger.
  10. You'd be wrong. I worked in the hotel industry for 25 years. Vancouver is very well known around the world for the resident Orcas off our coast.
  11. Those came later. Watched the weekday games played in Russia at high school. The ones I mentioned are the earliest "big events" that really stuck with me, I was 7 when they occurred. Anything else you'd like to know about?
  12. No sir. That was in response DumbNuck saying, "And what exactly is the connection of orcas with Vancouver, our waters have an extremely small population and they’re more around Victoria. Google any whale sightseeing cruise in Vancouver and see where they go, quite far from Vancouver, often into US waters. I see absolutely no connection." There were three events within a year I recall very clearly as a child. The JFK assassination, The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, and Moby Doll. What you call obscure I lived through. Which is why I understand the relationship between Vancouver and the Orca. History was made, and for about 35 years Orca at the Vancouver Aquarium was the biggest attraction in Stanley Park.
  13. Well back at inception the Orca was still viewed as more dangerous than great white sharks. Very little was known about their nature at the time. But it was right here in Vancouver that their true nature was discovered and it changed the world view of Orca's. Btw, the founders didn't use the JC logo from inception. That came much later. The original uniform simply had Canucks on it curved in the same way Vancouver was curved above the Orca logo. Perhaps that actual original is the best way to snuff all the logo dramatics. Simply don't have one like the Rangers. A lecture on reality is much better than Trumpian style nonsense lectures. I believe it's Tiger Hearted that needs the rest. Every post appears to confuse him. -->
  14. Never been to the Langley zoo. Is there a football stadium available there?
  15. Do you think about a flying V while watching Petey? How about a lumberjack? Lame.
  16. It doesn't change the relationship and history of the Orca with Vancouver or that it's a very good logo. Creating lame excuses to dislike it won't change anything. As with anything people either like it or they don't. It's our longest running primary logo so none of the lame excuses matters to those that like it. What it really comes down to is this - you didn't get what YOU wanted. Welcome to life. But as I said, no matter what the primary is there will be those that don't like it and didn't get what they want. Which is why changing the primary logo is completely pointless. You simply cannot please everybody. Particularly when you have the radically different logo history we do.
  17. Well I can't remember the last time I saw a lion in the city.
  18. You can ignore the relationship all you want but it doesn't mean it's not there. This is just getting ridiculous. Nobody is saying you HAVE to like the logo or BUY it. There are other options for sale. Living in denial doesn't change the unique relationship and history that ties Vancouver to the Orca though. So give it up. No matter what the primary logo is there will be those that don't like it. Guaranteed. Btw, Linden was involved in the Orca design. The last thing they wanted was the players skating out laughing about their new jersey as happened with the Flying V. As a result the team captain, Linden, was very involved and had input throughout the process with the designer.
  19. So wait there's Orca's permanently residing off our coast? Who knew???
  20. We're not the Vancouver Johnny Canucks or the Vancouver Lumberjacks, or the Vancouver Sticks in Rinks. C for Canucks just as the SiR is a C for Canucks. Lame excuses are just lame captain straw clutcher. Lame, lame, lame, and more lame.
  21. Have you learnt about resident Orca's yet? It doesn't surprise me that you would see me as brilliant or a genius as you don't set the bar particularly high.
