Puck'nAnimal Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Golly GEE WHIZ!..STOP IT THERE BOB, now roll it back, aahh STOP IT!! "Now kids ya can see Lidster should be playin it safe 'til the cows come home, but then Perrault goes 'round him, lika'hhoopa'rounda'barrell,& Caprice is down, lookin'fer'nickels! Ahh, GEE WHIZ!" How would the youngins' revolt today, if they were tied to a chair, (with social media unavailable), & forced to watch the ol'BCTV productions, looking for hope as the Oilers would THRASH us 14-2?? We actually gave a parade after being SWEPT in a series! All ol'timers who endured the first 2 decades of this team SHOULD be awarded a medal of honour, or at LEAST a participation ribbon! How many of us carried this traumatic burden fwd, living through a miserable onward-struggle?... God almighty, that gave me nightmares of the 80s...

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 For a "proven" GM; telling a head coach he can't "pick his assistants" - (if that's true); ranks up there in stupidity like Quinn calling Gretzky and telling him to "make a decision". Yeah, I'm sure Pittsburgh will be fine too...but I'll enjoy gloating over the fact that Rutherford got turned down for a while. fyi AV didn't get the priveledge either and took this team to the finals. So moot point. Always respected Rutherford as a GM. Didn't have much in Carolina to work with, but knew what it took to ultimately build a winner regardless. (Besides the Nhl re-working the rules to favour them and their utter lack of defense that is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I don't get your question... Where's Bob Cole or Bob McKenzie in my sig as well? Or Maggie the Monkey? Golly gee what? I meant Kyperos and MacLean have less credibility than some of the guys you blacklisted. Lebrun and Friedman are not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's he going to do from there? Caman! The guy going to do the damage is Anderson coming in from the side there. But Snepsts, hey, love the guy, got a heart as big as all outdoors...but he doesn't pick up Anderson early enough, Lidster tries to tie up Lumley with one hand on his stick and HEY! one pass later and Anderson, hey, he knows how to put the biscuit in the basket. Too many dumb plays by the Canucks and that's what you get. But HEY!...tough to corral those Oilers when the shake, rattle and roll like that!"

I'd forgotten all about those guys that could shake, rattle & Roll!..BUT STOP IT THERE JIM!!! STOP IT..ROLL it BACKK!! I wanna show you kids..golly gee whiz! Look at this Gibert Perrault, breakin down the wing, he's one of just THREE GUYS in this league that can make the shirt ripple!" Then they'd switch back to the booth, where McCeach's hair style looked like a Star Trek enterprise escapee. Amongst the background noise, my sister would have 14 CFUN belting out Culture Club's, "Karma Chameleon", to round out the din... I've tried therapy, but can't escape '80s nostalgia-blues!

I've tried therapy, but can't escape '80s nostalgia-blues!Back in about 1985 the Canucks did a charity event of some type that was held at (I think) Diego's on Kingsway. They had a table hockey set up and the Canuck players were playing against each other and the cameras were running. There was a guy there doing commentary, a la Howie Meeker, on the table hockey and he was freaking hilarious. A brilliant Howie impersonator. He used a black felt marker and wrote all over the table hockey game breaking down plays as his telestrator. So funny. BCTV played the tape of it during the intermission of a game soon after."Look at Curt's (Fraser) winger! Giving the puck away like that! $150,000 a year and dumb as that goalpost! And Lupul's centre picks up the puck, and hey...not a hard shot, but can put it in the mail slot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Gawd, I think I can actually remember that!..Believe the boys on our team(would have been in midget then), were chuckling over that one. It's coming back in vague & hazy pieces.

ShakyWalton Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Does anyone think that Gulutzen was kept for a reason...we know Kass liked him but maybe the Canucks knew something about Willie long before now and Gully was part of the plan to get Willie here after having worked together in Dallas? Funny they fire the entire coaching staff except for 1 asst. coach..coaches usually hire their own assts. Just throwing it out there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
