YEGCanuck Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Met Jim Hughson and Jack McIlhargey at the bar of the St. Paul Hotel during a tourism promotional trip. As I recall Jim was sipping on good brandy and smoking a cigar. This was some years ago when Jim and Jack were connected to the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I met kirk McLean and Geoff Courtnal at the airport once. They had there hood up on Courtnal red beamer. They were poking around with a large screw driver when I walked up and asked what the problem was. Courtnal said his battery was dead. I said and your trying to jump start it with a screw driver? They looked at each other and laughed. I gave them a jump start and they were on there way. About two weeks later I was at a set of lights out by queensborough and Courtnal was behind me. He went on to the shoulder and went around me turned right and did an illegal u turn and turned right again to beat the red light. Guy was in some kind of a hurry. That was some ugly car he had.

I doubt he was mad, Iginla is the coolest guy you could ever meet. Ive met him 5 or 6 times and every time he is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
