What a line him Naslund and Morrison used to be!

It’s nice to close the book on this one, now if we could just get that Steve Moore lawsuit over and done with…

The Messier signing eeked out a win over Bertuzzi destroying multiple careers in one evening.

Screw everything about the Canucks in the late 90s. Those were dark, dark days. Sometimes I wonder what would’ve happened had Naslund not exploded, the Sedins not been drafted, and the team had not been sold to a competent and interested owner.

I can’t believe that 3 years after the ’94 final ownership let Keenan and Messier run this team into the ground.

But now you mentioned it: the arrogance absolutely carried over.

Valid point for sure.
