Pre-Game Talk: GM 16: Pavel Bure Night - Canucks vs. Leafs - Nov 2 - 4:00PM PST - CBC

[Wizeman*]

I really hope we beat the Leafs on Pavel night.

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

Would've been nice to honor Bure at a home game, but this'll do.

 

[luongo321]

Will Kassian try another puck to skate to stick?

The arena better be going nuts for Bure night. Please, blow them out. I never want this team to lose to Mason Raymond. You know Kes and Burr and Lu will be beasting. Oh yeah, Sedins will be going globetrotters vs. the Leafs.

[StringerBell]

The game is Saturday, not tomorrow.

You scared me for a second.

My bad! Still sucks for me though.

 

[David71]

gonna losee

you saw the start time and assumed it was an away game?

 

[sutlaf]

so pumped for this game

 

[Tim Calhoun]

I wonder if Anna Kournikova and/or DJ Tanner will be in attendance on Saturday.

 

[Lawzy]

you saw the start time and assumed it was an away game?

Hmm, I think he was just poking fun at the fact that Rogers Arena is going to be littered with Buds jerseys.

 

[TootooTrain]

Leaf fans better not boo bure

I honestly have no idea why a leaf fan would.

Should be neat. Cya Saturday. The 2 best canadian teams going at it.

HA!!

 

[vanarchy]

Win for the team no doubt.

Saturday will be all about Bure the god. And damn does he deserve it.

 

[vancityluongo]

A non-Leafs game would mean that CBC would cut the beginning of the ceremony to show OT of the Leafs game. A non-4:00pm start has the same risk with the Habs/Sens game if there is one.

Should be a good game.

Could still be bitter about '94 maybe? Pavel lit them up that WCF. Would be shocked if ppl booed tho.

 

[Imuzi]

With the 4-1 lead in the 3rd period and 10 minutes remaining, the leafs are on the way to a victory against the vancouver canucks. But with the combination of a horrible defence and terrible coaching , the canucks rally to win 5-4 in overtime




I am from the future

Or you're from 2000 and just changed it to the Canucks winning and not the Leafs.

I'm sure someone has the highlights of this game. Naslund was bossing it then.

 

[Ziostilon]

Edler or Hamhuis, whoever that takes Kessel better not backskate and then suddenly trip and fall.... like we've seen so many times

 

[LolClarkson*]

Look at how fast the players skate into eachother to celebrate a goal in that Bure vid.

[Hollywood Burrows]

this entire clip is worth watching if you haven't seen it, check out the hype vancouver and Bure get on espn in 94:

 

[Auger]

The Sedins always come up big against the Leafs. Im guessing that they'll put Bolland on them, because their top line will never touch the puck if they don't.

 

[snizzbone*]

A non-Leafs game would mean that CBC would cut the beginning of the ceremony to show OT of the Leafs game. A non-4:00pm start has the same risk with the Habs/Sens game if there is one.

Came here to say this. With a 7pm start, the ceremony would not be shown as the 4pm game would still be on most likely.

 

[pucci2001]

Anyone who shows up at the door with a Leafs Jersey should be denied entry and their tickets should be put back up for sale at the box office.

Philosophically, I have nothing against Leafs fans, but this is a special night and as many Canucks fans as possible should get a chance to enjoy it.

If you are a Leafs fan, do the right thing and scalp your tickets. You'll make a profit. Use it to buy tickets the next time the Leafs are in town.

I am not going but even if I were the fact I am a leaf fan doesn't mean I can't come and pay my respects to one of the most electrifying players to ever lace them up. He might have been a Canuck but he was a hell of a hockey player, any hockey fan regardless of team should recognize and respect that. This being said, Canucks fans have equal chance to buy tickets to this game. The Leafs are almost never in Vancouver so expecting people to give up that chance is a bit insane.

 

[Canucks LB]

if there is ONE game on this entire schedule that I wanna win more then any other game, It's this one.

Let's crush them 9-0

 

[Canucks LB]

Will love watching the Sedins single handedly destroy the leafs, like they do every time they play against them.

I am sure slow ass dion will play on them, should be easy.
