Will agree here for the most part. Start with getting rid of the Orca. Zero representation to the Canucks with that goofy symbol that most others laugh at. Get rid of it at centre ice too. Some semblance of tradition with this club would be nice. Burrows in the ring is fine and such as he arguably scored the biggest goal(s) in Canucks history...but all this talk of Lou's jersey being retired here is comical. Focus on a winning attitude for the kids and moving forward who gives a sh!t about Lou? lol

Rory Fitzpatrick is next.

This will get it going:

"A Canucks spokesperson told Patrick Johnston of the Vancouver Sun on Wednesday that their no are current plans for the franchise to honour Luongo."

This is an actual media outlet, stupidity abounds!

lol wouldn't be shocking...don't think #teamwhiner would approve...

But team #bootlicker would?

lol no doubt. I'm ok with Burrows kid tried damn hard for this club loved it here gave his all almost every night. Scored HUGE goals in Nucks history. All good.

But team #bootlicker would?

Nah Edler fits the mood of #teamwhiner a bit more, as with Edler Captain they would get their next five 1st round top 10 picks which seems to so important to seeing the team fail for 5 more seasons lol

You have a very low opinion of the team if you think Edler being the captain would ensure a poor result. I thought you boot lickers were all in on playoffs!

Holy poop, Burrows is getting his name on the ring?

This franchise needs to win something of importance quickly because this celebration of mediocrity is an embarrassment.

I hate this ownership group for emphasizing how mediocre this team has been and still is today with all this false recognition.

Could you only imagine if FA every year came into the closing presser and just said "this team (frank)en sucks, hasn't won poop"

I have to wonder about your intelligence if you truly believe that promoting hate for your team would be good for business.

Just retire every jersey for guys who try hard. Dorsett? Hell yeah! Higgins? Oh baby! Might as well retire Benning and Gillis' jerseys too.

As did you. I thought it was funny, and will henceforth refer to you as supreme boot licker and chancellor slurps a lot.

theres a difference between saying we like the direction and are continuing our mission to winning the cup vs creating a shrine frompast failures

Yup, retire them all. Start using mandarin characters instead of numbers

Lots of failure to go around the league.
No cup each or every year has big company.

Nah...just want the team to improve. Unlike you #teamwhiners who wish for losing for another ten years. Hence ordering your Edler Jersey with the C lol

Because the Sedin's had fantastic careers they should be forgotten because they didn't win a cup?

I wouldn't have it any other way but if by chance the Canucks do well this year. You might hear "I told you so" until your death. Deal?

I read another Canucksarmy article written by someone who did some fancy shmancy work and came up with the Canucks getting 97 points this season. I have them pegged at 96 points. Clearly without doing all the extra work that guy did that took hours. I just looked at a few 5 minutes videos and bam came up with the same answer pretty much,

they are hall of fame players i dont think anyone is questioning that they are likely the two greatest canucks of all time, won league awards and are deserving of the honour of a jersey retirement.

its the other things that are silly/excessive like many of the ring of honor recipients. the bar for that is very low that you will run out of room quickly. ie - if mclean is up there then luongo deserves it. if ohlund is there then edler has to be

FA could again skip the silly/excessive players going into the ring of honour and the arena could be completely empty and when fans new fans/old fans/other teams fans come they can see what a sad sack of poop this team has been over the years.

They will probably come back again and again knowing how poopty the team has been.

It's a business, you are selling a history to people, to get them in the seats.
