zer0dotcom Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 So, Thanks to everyone for pitching in on my last thread about my Coyotes Black jersey. I've pretty much settled on Burke for that one, though I'm still considering Roenick.The one thing holding me back is money, but I've found an independent stitcher who is willing to do NHL styles at a rate far less than a commercial retailer, so it's fun to imagine what I'm going to drop all that money on once school is no longer draining my account. (He did both a Thrashers and Nordiques jersey for me and I was most impressed by the outcomes)So, now I'm thinking big, and have another sweater that I'm wanting to get customized. I have a white Vancouver Canucks, 98-03 (no sleeve patches). So, I'm considering names for this one as well, since at this time they had quite the collection of names:Bure #10Messier #11Linden #16Mogilny #89McLean #1 (he played in '98 for a half a season, then was traded for Sean Burke, who wore his number now that it was vacant)#19 Naslund#55 JovoI have an idea of which I would chose, but I love the conversation that these threads spark, so I'll keep it mum for now and see what shakes loose from the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Messier #11just because he was amazing...maybe greatest caunck of all time just maybeMaybe the best player in general to play for the Nucks, but not as a Canuck. Bure's the best Canuck.Anywho, I'd go with Linden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Id pick Linden hes the one m picturing with that jersey in mind. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 linden was a longtime Canuck, good pick.. but I associate Naslund more with these jerseys. Speaking of Mogilny, i would love a white Sabres blue/gold, or white flying skate canuck jersey with his name and #. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zig Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'd get Naslund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'd go with Naslund with Jovonovski as a second choice. When I think of Bure and Linden, I think of those white and black skate logo jerseys in the '94 playoff run (and not to mention those ugly red thirds). Messier would be fine, but the Canucks didn't go very far with him around. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p/k Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Would this independant stitcher perhaps be able to sell me just a name and number kit instead of me sending the jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he's more flying skate than orca. You could always go Odjick or Zezel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Oh I know, I meant it for zer0, just happened to quote your post. Also, wasn't he wearing #96 by then?

Brendan Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 naslund is the best player during the ocra era but bure is overall the greatest canucks ever, hopefully the canucks will do the right thing and eventually retire his number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Oh I know, I meant it for zer0, just happened to quote your post. Also, wasn't he wearing #96 by then?He wore 96 from '95-'97. Every other year in Vancouver, he was #10. I think they switched to the Orca in '98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 You just knew I was going to have an opinion on this one, didn't you?First, and most important, you made the right choice to go with the one without the shoulder patches.The first year they wore that style was in 97-98.That means you can add the 1998 NHL All-Star game patch to the right chest. These are almost always on ebay and shouldn't be hard to find for $10-15.Then, the Canucks started the 97-98 season in Japan on Oct. 3 & 4 and wore this patch on the left sleeve above the numbers about where a secondary logo would be. Vancouver was considered the "home" team on the 3rd and would have worn white that day. This would have not only been the season opener, but the regular season debut of the new jersey style.It's a bit more expensive, but rare as heck and on ebay right now. Game ONe '97 patch auctionOct. 3 boxscoreAccording to the boxscore, your player choices from that game on your list would beBure #10 "A"Messier #11 "C"Linden #16 "A"? (Can't prove it, but if he gave up his captaincy to Messier, I would expect he'd still wear the "A")McLean #1 (starter)The game recap even says Messier and Bure scored that day, with Messier getting the game winner.97-98 team statsSeason recap with Japan infoLinden was later traded that year to the Islanders for Bertuzzi & McCabe and McLean & Gelinas were traded to Carolina for Sean Burke & Geoff Sanderson. Burke was later traded again to the Flyers.Messier "C" & Bure "A"Linden with "C", suggesting he usually wore the "A"This is really, really odd since the stats show Messier played 82 games. Preseason game perhaps?Other choices from that year that would get the 98 All-Star patch but not the Japan patch are; Mogilny #89 (did not play in Japan due to holdout)Bertuzzi and Sean Burke, since you seem to like him.Personally, I have the same jersey and did mine as Messier #11/"C"/98 All-star/Game ONe '97.

spyboy1 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 gotta go with archie irbe, #32 or perhaps trent klatt.I have to sheepishly raise my hand and confess that I also have a white Canucks #32 Irbe with the 98 All-star and 97 Game ONe Japan patch.Irbe is my hero and I have jersey of his from San Jose, Vancouver, Dallas, Carolina (red) 99-00, Carolina (white) 01-02, 1994 All-Star Game, 1999 All-Star game & Kansas City Blades.I didn't mention him since he already had McLean on his list and Irbe didn't actually play in Japan.
