On this typical soggy day in a Vancouver suburb, I am pleading for patience from my fellow Vancouver Canucks fans. It won’t be easy, nor will there likely be a short reprieve. But as a fan since the year before the Russian Rocket arrived in Vancouver, and having experienced the highs of the 1994 run as well as the lean Keenan years of the late 1990s, I am fairly certain it will all pay off in the end if we are patient.
A Bit of Nostalgia
I remember my first experience involving the Canucks was around 1988, when I received second-hand pajamas bearing the beloved “skate logo” (beloved to me, anyway).
