Babarnikov Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I sometimes wonder if this organization forgets that it existed prior to the Aquilinis' involvement. One of the best defensemen to ever play for the Canucks, Bob Dailey, passed away. And yet nary a mention on the Canucks' website. No video tribute online. No sorrowful press release. Nothing. Dailey played 257 regular season games for the Canucks in the 1970's, more than Demitra, Rypien and Bourdon combined. I certainly mean no disrespect to Demitra, Rypien and Bourdon - they absolutely deserved all the tributes they got (and more) - however, Dailey meant more to this franchise during his time here than those three did, in all honesty. After being picked 9th overall by the Canucks in the '73 draft, Dailey averaged an astounding 0.51 points per game with the 'nucks over his 257 games. That's seventh all time among defensemen who played 200+ games for the team, behind Tallon, Guevremont, McCarthy, Lumme, Lanz and Jovocop. Had the Canucks not royally screwed up by trading Dailey when they did, Bob "Count" Dailey likely would have been one of the, if not the best defenseman ever to play in Vancouver. The lack of class and judgment that this organization sometimes shows confounds me. RIP Bob Dailey. Some of us WILL NEVER FORGET you and all you did for this city.

Warhippy Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 He was announced as passed away like 14 hours ago. The Flyers enjoyed him FAR longer than we did than our 3 and 1/2 seasons. Give them a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhorvat Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Really?? would a presser on the website make you feel better? They could still be plannin something, maybe a moment of silence or w.e it is during a home game but until then just grab a box of tissues and blame the aqulinis.
