Frazzy Desjardins Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 This should take a few people back when Hughson looked like a teenager....I worked with Randy Hahn in Edmonton a couple of years after this commercial was made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjpzEqN7Res Great handlebar duster Hughson!

Barry_Wilkins Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 First row seats at the Pacific Coliseum to watch the Canucks take on the New England Whalers in Gordie Howe's last season at age 50 or 51 along with son Mark. The goaltender for the Whalers that night? John Garrett. Curt Fraser and Gordie collided on the boards almost in front of me in the 2nd period. Their sticks met and the puck flipped over the glass. I snagged it with my elbow pressing against the right armrest. Still have the puck somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckster19 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 long time vancouver resident? How was the crowd back in the coliseum? It was different, but it was a different time as well, like when Gretzky and the Oilers came to town it would always sell out, and people in the Coliseum would be cheering for both teams, just a different time really. I think it was louder in there on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yeah, Vancouver my entire life. Actually, my older brother took me. I was 23. Great times, though. And to the poster above, the Coliseum earned its nickname "the Mausoleum" back then. Pretty subdued until the Canucks scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 When a lot of the trees you planted in the names of the Canuck's greats (when they were early in their careers) blew over in our last wind storm.

rizzuto&hatoum Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Garth Rizzuto & Eddie Hatoum from that first year. Also, Ray Cullen, Dunc Wilson, Charlie Hodge, George Gardner, Gary Doak, Pat Quinn, Rosaire Paiement and a few others. Juliette singing O Canada at the first game. Paiement fighting Bobby Orr and giving him a black eye. Hexing Bobby Baun for taking out Kurtenbach's knee. Babe Pratt giving the third star to the 3 streakers. Finding out Ab DeMarco made more than the Prime Minister. Studying the Zander Hollander hockey paperback book and finding out that Art Rutland was born in Wawa, Ontario and that he was drafted one spot ahead of Glenn Anderson. Buying Hockey Illustrated magazine and finding out that Stan Fischler was known as the hockey maven. Hockey Digest too. This I can't remember - was Face-Off (1971) the hockey movie about a Maple Leaf rookie starring Art Hindle and Trudy Young ever shown in the intermissions on HNIC?

bohonos76 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 when you proudly rocked the flying V and had shoppers drup mart calendars on your wall... when you remember Smyl hitting the post..... when you used to be allowed to bring a megaphone into the Pacific Colleseum to boo Chelios from the stands. when you agreed bringing in Jimmy Carson a former 50 goal scorer would certainly change the Canucks fortunes... when you wondered how come Bogdan Savenko never made the team when we traded Diduck for him... the list goes on....

Rick Blight Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Quote When a bare faced Gump Worsley was your first favorite Canuck goalie wearing those great Johnny Canuck uniforms.
