messier's_elbow Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 He is a hockey legend, yet he is loathed here for killing the Canucks in the 80's, and helping getting Linden shipped out. He has since said he regrets taking the C off Trevor, which was his and Keenan's idea. We turned Trevor into Bertuzzi and one of the Sedins though. After some healing time and seeing how things worked out long term does that soften your dislike for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That a side, the real issue with Messier has little to do with Linden and more to do with his performance, not some stupid C. He was being paid as a top elite athlete with promises of success. He came here exercising terrible effort and poor production. The Canucks didn't even make the playoffs during Messier's tenure, even with Bure & Mogilny on this team. This was to be the best line in hockey! We all got suckered and Messier committed one of the biggest frauds in NHL history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont recall....Naslund still credits Messier for helping get his career on track and teaching him leadership skills and how to address a camera. When Messier got here...this team was already essentially a mess. Goaltending sucked starting from McLean and ending with Felix Potvin -Bure had one season and forced a trade, Mogilny had essentially sucked after the year he popped in 56 goals -lets not get started on the great talent swapped in and out of the line up by Keenan, then by Burke at the start of his tenure and at the end of Messiers. the 4 year span that Messier was here, snd lets not forget....HE WAS 37!!!! Not even Lemieux would have fared much better with that team. Do ppl here actually think Gretzky couldve done better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzy Mahmood Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 As long as we live, Mark Messier will be the most hated figure in Canucks history. The likes of Lucic, Marchand, Boychuk, Pronger, Keith, all will be forgotten one day. But the 'legend' of Mark Messier will forever be burned into Canuck hearts. We will never forget him.
