The only way steamer belongs in the rafters is from a rope. It would be no different than putting Burrows up there. Sure, heart and soul guy every team needs, but not Jersey retirement worthy. Vancouver has had only 3 of those. One is up there, two more are going up there in a few months.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

94 canucks team was just as if not tougher and with more heart and soul.

82 i wa 11 so my knowledge of the game wouldnt be tip top but still...94 crew rocked.. Bure on Churla was unreal even ig it was a total cheapshot
Churla publically chirped what he goona do to Pavel before series started. Maybe a cheapshot but genius too.
The flying elbow was more specifically Bure standing up for himself after Churla tried to goon him up (and no call!) earlier on that shift...

Tampa has a pretty good young winger they replaced Miller with in Matthew Joseph.

LA has a pretty tough bastard in McDermid. He just corked Lucic pretty hard then had Milan hanging on a bit.

Tomorrows game isnt going to be easy this kings team can play

Did you watch that fight in a haze of smoke, Wiz?

I think the big, whiny bully was the one in red. It looks to me like a close fight, but Lucic definitely got the slight upper hand due to experience.

Good for the kid to take the dance right away, he absolutely held his own against a beast. Something Lucic's gutless teammate Tkachuk would never do. That's why I really respect Bennett changing up his game to stay in the league.

Milan sure can't take even a little bit of his own medicine, can he? That was a check every coach wants their big guys (and even little guys) to make (hint, hint Shotgun).
