Forpetesake Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) Sedin Sedin Burrows This was the best line we ever had and these are the right players to be on the all time top line regardless. I am not a Sedin fan but their best couple of years were the best we've had. Burrows too. It wasn't just slaying the dragon, he was clutch all the way. Naslund Kesler Bure What a line this would have been. I'm thinking Nashville series Kesler. Ohlund Jovanoski Lumme Ehrhoff I will go with Brodeur for the goalie. For his time. Pete and Huggy should make it one day. Edited November 2, 2020 by Forpetesake 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember much of Potvin but he was such an iconic player and every time I see a hockey card or something of him in a Canucks uniform I just think it’s so cool And Vanek was a great mentor for Boeser. Loved his slap shot. The breakaway slap shot just destroyed goalies confidence. I wish we acquired him years ago so he played more through the tough times. He was fun to watch. I’d also put Demitra in the list, another fun player to watch. RIP Another side note I have a signed Goalie stick of Burke. Met him at a hockey camp when he was playing on the Flyers. Forgot he was a Canuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember he was on our team during a brawl that centered around Petit (who at one point did alright against Probert and played for us) sucker punched Walker twice while his arms were both held back in a scrum, and then Walker got out and went full Texas Ranger Chuck on his ass .... what would of our second line have looked like/depth scoring, if Keenan didn’t protect him instead of Zezel during the pre-cap WCE era? Would have helped for sure. Sanderson was a pretty good hockey player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Tannen Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Naslund Gradin Bure Sedin Sedin Tanti Rota Linden Smyl Odjik Kesler Bertuzzi Ronning Ohlund Salo Edler Bieksa Jovo Butcher Lumme Luongo Mclean Lever Petterson Mogilny Courtnall Horvat Neely Burrows Miller Boeser Momesso Morrison Tiger Kearns Lidster Hughes Hamhuis Babych Tanev Schneider Miller Not only did I ignore the request for the top 2 lines, I felt bad for those that missed the cut so I filled out my Utica roster too. Pretty sure I'm at least winning the Calder. Perhaps Butch shouldn't have made the first team, but nostalgia won out as he features in some of my earliest hockey memories. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucard Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Schneider and Miller? thinking outside of the box, he`s underrated. Miller never showed up in playoffs in his career though, bad teams in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Miller shouldn't get in ahead of Brodeur and Marky, but he regularly carried a pretty mediocre team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the story of Brodeur's entire tenure. Canucks never had a single 100 point player in the whole time Brodeur was in net 1980-88. Perhaps the only team in the entire NHL that didn't have one during the decade. Every other team in the Smythe division had at least one 130 point player during that stretch.

iceman64 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 On 10/23/2020 at 3:54 AM, ken kaniff said: The best 2 lines in Canucks history are easily D.Sedin-H.Sedin-Burrows Naslund-Morrison-Bertuzzi as for the D. It gets more complicated because there were often switch ups but I’d say Hamhuis-Bieksa was one of our best shutdown all situations pairing. If Hughes and Schmidt stay together they will probably be the best. Anyone pairing with Hughes will be our best D pairing lol Goalies is hard. Luongo is probably the best. But Markstrom the last 2 years were Phenominal. I wasn’t around for McLean or Brodeur so idk Schmitty and QH won't be a pairing, at least unless it's in special situations but we need 2 pairings with both of those guys on each, have to spread the wealth and not be a 1 trick pony...

It’s something that I mentioned in another thread, but I think our one trick pony would be ridiculously dominant with following combination: Miller-Horvat-Pettersson / Hughes-Schmidt That 5 man unit would likely be as good or even better than Sedin-Sedin-Burrows /Erhoff-Edler, or Naslund-Morrison-Bertuzzi / Malik-Jovanovski. In terms of today’s NHL, that 5 man unit would probably be top 3 in the NHL and would be a handful for even the best shut down forwards and defensemen. If a second line unit of Pearson-Gaudette-Boeser / Edler-Myers could hold up on their end and score timely goals, then we might have something there.

So Good point............but that was my thought process As for Sundin, he had so much skill..........they were forgettable years when he was here, but he was crazy good.......IMO Sundin was only here for half a year, but people often forget that.... 1) He was 38 years old 2) He didn’t have a training camp that year and hadn’t played for half a year. What people tend to overlook is the fact that Sundin had a huge influence on Kesler’s offensive game. People also overlook the fact that Sundin was starting to look like his normal self by the end of the season. Sundin was a PPG player during the playoffs. I was very grateful for Sundin’s brief time here. He helped us get to the 2nd round that year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
