TheLastStandingCloutierFan Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Aaaahhh I grew up watching that era. They got me and my whole family to be dedicated followers of the team. So many good times. Ruutu and Cooke being total pests, Cloutier fighting off everyone who dared crash his net, Salo's amazing slap shots, Ohlund and Bert decking guys out...so awesome.

apollo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 "Canada's game, Vancouver's Canucks" Those bring back some good memories. Loved that squad to death. Remember when they had PPV games? Wtf was up with that? Glad they stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 While I was around for the 94 run, I was still too young to really connect - I was mostly going along with my family. The WCE was the team that caused me to decide, on my own, to be a fan of the team. I'll always have a soft spot for them because of that! (Also I lament the 2004/05 lockout and this group getting another kick at the can in the playoffs.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You should mention what they're doing now or what they've done since retiring. Indeed. I heard Trevor's doing pretty well. He's some kind of president of some company in the entertainment business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomessi Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 still baffling thinking about the fact that we drafted the Sedins in 99' ... its been 16 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You missed the cooker. NASLUND DASHING IN... 15 seconds to go, Markus Naslund. To the net. Shoots SCOOOOOOREESSSSS MATT COOKE CASHING IN 5.6 SECOND TO GO! And they're still alive! I'd love if Matt came and finished his career here. Also Jarkko Ruutu (sp) It was "Naslund dashing in, 10 seconds left, Markus Naslund, to the net. Stopped! Scores! Scores! Matt Cooke cashing in. 5.7 seconds left. And they're still alive!"

menace Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 That team was fun to watch after the Iron Mike and Captain Moose mass depression era. The team never reached its potential and had a couple of miscues still felt today. In my opinion the 2011 Canucks were stronger than the WCE in the mental toughness department.

Olynyk Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I remember the ppv bull crap, it was just as bad as this black out bull. As a fan I just hate havering to watch maple leafs vs Washington, or habs vs penguins. ( Betman your a hoser) Really miss Jovo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoball Cannons Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Man oh man, does anyone else think that Anson Carter was kicking himself in the tush for listening to his agent and not staying here? He left for a million a season more, and one year later he is playing in the Swiss League. What he should have taken as more of a sign? In 81 games with Vancouver he had 33 goals, and 22 assists. Coinky Dink? I think not... P.S. - Loved Jovocop. Still my top 5 all-time Canucks. He actually left for $500,000 more over 2 years, so only $250,000 more per season than he was offered by the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing_Tall#37 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 What about the supporting cast, like king, chubarov, druken, Hlavich, Warriner, etc... Where are all the draft picks from those days? Did any actually make the nhl besides Kesler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did any actually make the nhl besides Kesler? Lol bulis and hlavic those were interesting players to say the least. Geoff Sanderson was a decent pickup. I remember he went roof job on kipper in the playoffs. Hansen 9th, bieksa 5th, Edler 3rd... Not much else. No idea why Vancouver hasn't fired every single scout they had lol http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/teams/dr00008756.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Canucks were so much more fun to watch back then. Bertuzzi would destroy everyone. Naslund with the snipes. Jovo. Ah man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ruutu didn't retire from the NHL, he played a year or two in Finland before retiring. And Bertuzzi was signed to a PTO and because of his knee, never got signed to a full.
