In an era where Canucks games were rarely broadcast on TV, Jim Robson's play by play made you feel like you were watching live while listening on the radio.

Legendary.

They should name a street after him or something...

Name a street? Hell, they should name the tallest mountain in BC after him.

Wife Beatrice of 68 years died last September. No word on how he passed, but a broken heart had to be factor.
