ynwa Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Watching that tribute tonight had me wondering what might have been in 2011—if only. RIP Luc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Kid was a gem. Fantastic hockey player and a genuinely good human. I'm sure Luc would be a great defensemen and a team leader if things went differently. Life's rough eh..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Like it stated in the tribute video, his skill was off the charts. I'm not sure I have ever seen a Dman with his size display such skill. His potential was bananas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 If anyone was reading the forum back in the days, he was tossed around in trade proposals like meat in a prison. He was labelled a bust, with the mantra of "K0P1T4R!!!111" being the usual response anytime Luc was a topic of conversation on this board, lots of posters wanted to get rid of him for a bag of pucks. Many were livid that he only had 2 goals in this 28 games with the big club.... a huge disappoint for a supposedly offensive defenseman. "He's one-dimensional", "he can't play defense", "he can't think the game at the NHL level", "Could of have Kopitar/Staal/etc".... but he tragically past away and suddenly he's the answer the the Canucks woes, the missing piece for the 2011 run, and some proclaiming him to be the NHL all-star defenseman. Luc Bourdon tragically died. Could have, would have.... lets just let him Rest in Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuporbust Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I got to watch him in the skills competion the year he passed. The kid had all the tools for sure. Reminded me of a very young ohlund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Luc might very well have become a legitimate #1D is this league. He had all the tools. Size, physicality, skating, puck skills, shot, two-way ability, and was a physical specimen that would have munched high minutes in his prime. Of course the loss to this organization doesn't compare in the slightest way to the tragedy his passing has meant to his family and friends. But it's still hard not to wonder what having a player of his calibre in the lineup these past years might have meant to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xereau Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 You guys notice that BOTH of the between period specials in the Sunday game, were about terrible moments in Canucks' history? Steve Moore, then Luc Bourdon. Coincidence? I highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I remember the 2006 memorial CUP Brule vs Bourdon What a matchup... I saw right away what a warrior Bourdon was. The guy had so much heart / compete in him. Total respect for the way he played the game. RIP - LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steve Moore segment wasn't actually about Steve Moore, it was about a local NB kid that Moore is helping. Luc Bourdon was a local NB kid. And where was Hometown Hockey being broadcast from? New Brunswick. Nothing coincidental about it. Nothing nefarious either. And I'm a big Ron hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
