It starts at 17secs, where he's looking over at Dahlin, then he skates by the fight, then at 20secs, makes the motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been the end of the run. Probably one of the worst non calls in the history of the game. 26 minutes ago, PistolPete13 said: It didn’t happen today. So there’s that. I was at the game, and I think that Bure got tossed from the game. Far from one of the worst non calls in the history of the game. Leaf fans will say the Gretzky hit on Doug Gilmour cost them a cup and Ducks fans will tell you that the Gary Suter cross check to the face of Paul Kariya was the worst ever. No penalty, and only four game suspension for Suter. For all intents and purposes that hit ended Kariya’s career. Lol, a great Canucks run but that is one bad hit. One of the worst I've ever seen I think. That was absolutely predatory and viscous. Stawns is right we were very lucky and should be thankful Bure wasn't suspended for a log time. He was a star and the league looked the other way. Thankfully like you said times were a little different and players got away with some stuff back then. I'm not going to lie though ... I loved it at the time. If it was just a regular player I would not have liked the hit, but Churla was a huge arsehole too. Don't f#%k with Bure 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey knows Dahlin is a softy drama boy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do love the death glare that both he and JT give Dahlin when Dahlin starts crying. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dork deserved it many times over anyways. Met Geoff Courtnall a couple times… he said he received a wicked two handed slash from Churla just a few minutes before and he was crippled for a couple shifts from the pain above his ankle… everyone had plans to get Churla but Bure took the situation under control hahaha awesome 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 hours ago, stawns said: Considering the elbow that Bure got away with on churla, Canucks fans didn't have a lot to complain about in '94. Bure should have been gone for the rest of the past season and a decent chunk of the following season. My 94 comment wasn't a bias complaint, it was more just the way things were called. One teamed scored, and within a couple minutes, that team would get called for something. It seemed we could call the penalty before the ref raised his arm. But regarding the Mother of all Elbows, didn't Churla (and perhaps other Stars) have it coming from earlier head-shots? The hit itself is bad, and should have been penalized, but that was a nasty series, and if the refs let too much go, players will take matters into their own hands. Doesn't make it right, but it's what it is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller crush popped Dahlin and then (IMHAO) he could have really pounded Power but chose to let up in the fight. I think Miller knew he had a guy who wasn’t a fighter and let him off the hook. Total class by Miller. I remember Igonla used to do that. If he knew a guy was standing up for a teammate, but wasn’t a fighter, he would not pound him. Same class as Miller shows. And Dahlin has something wrong with him. That drama stuff isn’t going to win over his teammates. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmaster Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Canucks have the highest odds to win the Cup! With a big margin too…17.3% where the next team is set at 9.4% The rest of the world and odd makers have finally caught on. The playoff odds are now at 99.9%. That’s pretty awesome too since it’s only half way through the season. 86.8% to win the division. https://moneypuck.com/predictions.htm 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the most vicious blindsided elbows ever thrown Howe would have been proud. The elbow and shoulder pads used to be soft back in the day. Then equipment changes made them rock hard. Should make them soft again. And wooden sticks too! And old time goalie pads. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Biggest take away from the Sabres game is that Nux can win low scoring games. And they can take a hit and punch back. JT was in beast mode, answering the bell. Big Z stood up for his teammates. Knocked them down like Ents knocked down Orcs. This is a team that has enough size and grit to do well in playoffs. This gives me optimism for the season and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
