Another one bites the dust

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I never hid my love of that lovable losing generation of Leaves.

Sittler, McDonald, Salming, Turnbull, Palmateer... it's all we could watch on our black & white set in English back then.

Loved Habs legends like Lafleur, Robinson, Savard, the other Guy, Dryden, etal. but they were too good.

The Two Heathers. a teenage boy's wet dream in the 80s. I used thumbtacks to pin my posters up... not sure what Cuz used to paste... well, we can probably guess can't we?

The original butterfly goalie.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

Compared some of the confessions above.... this is nothing. ;)

He wasn't a leaf, and was a former Canuck.
