Wasn't his Dad an Olympic athlete?

Swimmer or something??

Wait, wait, I'll look it up.

Ba da bing..

Vladimir Bure, a Russian swimming legend.... a fitness consultant with the Canucks during Bures time here...


Yeah, that's the guy, he used to train Pavel in Russia before they came over, but Pavel was listening to him less & less. They eventually had a big fight over the issue of less-partying/more-training. Last I heard they hadn't spoken in years. Wonder if they ever patched it up?


Last I heard he was hiding out in Southern Alberta....

Do you think we could coax him out of retirement? BD would say that's an upgrade on David 8-)

Sundin is hell of a player and deserved to be inducted.

But I have a huge problem with that pathetic award. F'ing Mr. Lays.
Messier... Top five to seven greatest players all time...

PERIOD!!

Sure Messier had some skill and impressive accomplishment on ice

but true leader my ass.


Most pretentious, egoistic, and hypocritical individual

Mark Messier Award is TRULY a Mark Messier's Award



Isn't he still trying to get money from Vancouver?

Bout time they induct him into the HHOF. Congrats to Pavel. Some of my fondest memories of watching the Canucks are of #10 ripping down the ice.

Turns out it was Bure who put the kibosh on his number being up the rafters,exactly as I suspected. Obviously his number belongs up there with 12 16 and 19

12, 16, 19

One of these numbers do not belong.

It really sounded like the Canucks offered to fete Pavel, but the Bure camp nixed it. Something about how he's still young and doesn't think its appropriate. Or something. I guess there's still some bad blood even though ownership and brass has turned over.
