12 was a lunch bucket on a dreadful team. Tom Gradin is one of my all time favourites to wear a Canuck uniform, but think of Raymond centring Weise and Ballard and you have good idea what that top line was like. Stan became captain in one of the worst and least classy management decisions in team history. That team was going nowhere until Bus left the building. Gary fucking Lupul was on that team, Colin Campbell was a defensive stalwart in the playoffs. If 12 was retired shortly after his retirement, he be thought of in the same light as Dennis Kearns.
16 was captain of what had to be the most stacked Canuck team in history at that point, yet barely able to make the playoffs and was a one hit wonder. His contract should have been bought out in the postlockout window. Kesler had already surpassed him on the depth chart and use on the PK.
19 will always be remembered for "I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight","I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight", "I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight","I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight", "I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight","I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight", "I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight","I guess we just weren't prepared for tonight", and "I'm sorry, we choked."
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
