And a special Cheers to all of us that have seen/witnessed the 82 run, 94 run, early 2000 disappointments, We are All Canucks. 
 

Nothing but love and respect for everyone in here posting your takes on the team that we love. We might not always agree or like what we read but I can truthfully say I’d rather read takes about our Great Team that is in the playoffs then reading about our team golfing this time of year!

 

Cheers to all and I’m excited for all of us today because we deserve playoff hockey. Cheer loud, wave your towels proud!

 

Go Canucks Go!!!! :towel:

It’s going to be an amazing night tonight. I can’t wait to hear the roar of the crowd when the team steps on the ice. I hope they change it up from “Where the streets have no name” New team, new era, and it should be a new song when they come on the ice. Let’s start a new tradition. I am so pumped. It’s been way too long for a playoff game but here we are and I am sure as everyone else is, super excited.

It was great fun reliving the highlights hype video in my first post but i liked going back over our core drafted guys and seeing how the future is indeed now.

I feel the same, I don't want to hear Where the streets have no Name. That was the 2006-2011 era team, this is a new era with a new identity, let's build it and not bring back the past.

I agree, The Streets Have No Name was the 2011 run song. 

 

I feel this year's Canucks team is getting little respect past the 1st round. They were the best team in the league all year practically, several players setting records and having a career year. 

 

Not getting the respect for being good, kind of like a rock band that started their career around these parts.

 

Maybe the Canucks should use a Nickelback song and just piss everyone off as they go on a deep run. What the hell... "Burn it to the Ground"

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

 

4 playoff games in a row today, my plans for the day, finishing off with the Canucks 1st home playoff game in 9 years. So excited. 

 

Thinking Joshua and Garland will have a great round, Quinn Hughes will be on a mission. Punishing hits from the giants on D.

OK, I'm so nervous. Anxious. Restless.

 

I write to pass the time away and I'm reflecting on it all so here's my two hundred cents. I love this team. I love the playoffs. I love y'all.

 

I remember ‘94 like it was yesterday

We were in the cup final and “you know he will play”

Province posters arrived each game at the door

We collected them all and each game there were more

The living room was plastered, everywhere they hung

And out on the streets we hugged and we sung

This was our team and, to us, this was new

How far would they go, how would they do?

Along for the ride, we took it all in

And game after game, by gosh! they would win!

As our team inched closer to the ultimate prize

It wasn’t expected, was such a surprise

And with window markers the team logo I drew

On the front bay window, so everyone knew

As they’d drive by our house, they’d honk as they passed

For four great series this excitement would last

But to our disappointment our team fell just short

Just how it is in this cruel world of sport

Then in 2011, it would all start again

That year I was lucky, many games I’d attend

Burr, Juice and Kes were our favourites (though pests)

With Luongo in net we had goaltending’s best

And again, the buzz grew as the team gathered steam

Entered as top dogs, stage was set so it seemed

And who could forget when the dragon was slayed?

In one of the best games Burr would ever play

Knocked out the champions in a dogpile of glory

The team was writing a magnificent story

It wouldn’t be easy and again they’d be tested

By mean predators and waters shark infested

But again they prevailed and pushed through like winners

Until they met a team full of dirty f’n sinners

Broke every single rule but Daddy was a member

Of the NHL brass who were cold as December

Cute little punches and goalie stick whacks

What a bunch of unruly obnoxious bloody hacks

        (pause, breathe….it still hurts to this day)

But they beat us in a game that left us in shock

As we counted the seconds tick down on the clock

Our fine city fell apart as we watched on TV

Seemed so surreal….how on earth could this be?

In a few short hours the atmosphere would turn

From jubilance and joy to a city that would burn

Like a bad nightmare where we couldn’t awaken

It felt devastating, like we’d been forsaken

That painful memory hurt, stuck with us awhile

For a long time it was hard to muster up a smile

But looking back that team was worth celebrating

And once again, we find ourselves waiting

What will our boys do? How will they fare?

It’s a nervous time but damn, WE’LL BE THERE!

And as diehard fans, for us nothing better

Than sunshine and wearing our favourite team’s sweater

So enjoy the game folks, please just drink it all in 

Even if we should lose (screw that sh, we’re gonna win)

One day we’ll look back on our team and this year

As a great ride together and to that I say….cheers!





 

 

 

Thanks for writing and posting this @-dlc-, I remember the Canucks from way back in the very early days, lived through 1982, 1994, 2011 and the stanzas above resonate - a bit painfully, even to this day. Let's say the last chapter to glory is still being written ... this year!


GO CANUCKS GO!!!
