Talk:Vancouver Canucks

message: Why is there a separate page for the "WHL Vancouver Canucks" and why is there no mention of the Canucks founding in 1945 on the NHL page? This is the same franchise. When the Canucks moved to the NHL many players from the WHL team were included and even their WHL owner - Coley Hall - was involved with the NHL ownership group.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.199.44.55 (talk) 01:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The 1945 founding date is mentioned in the infobox, as well as in the early history section. As far as the WHL article goes, I believe the intention was to allow for much greater coverage of the pre-NHL days than would be possible if it was all mashed together. Resolute 05:13, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

text: The NHL Canucks are not a continuation of the WHL franchise otherwise it's history would be recognized as the former WHA franchises are by the NHL.  The connections are worthy being mentioned in the body of the article but not in the infobox.  That information should the limited to official league and club history to avoid confusion caused by editor's POV. I recommend the infobox be cleaned up to reflect official NHL history.

thread_title:  WHL Canucks section 

message: I think this section should be deleted.  The banner ceremony only happened once, and the #7 banner was unceremoniously taken down from the rafters during the 2009 offseason.  I don't see what it has to do with anything, as it is now a very insignificant part of Canucks team history, consisting of a single small ceremony before a game.  As far as the organization is concerned, the idea was a failure and it has been abandoned.  Chris Zimmerman, the man responsible for the idea, isn't even with the Canucks anymore.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.118.74.23 (talk) 02:05, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Be bold! Feel free to remove it if you so choose.  I would, however, ensure that the banner ceremony is noted in the proper season article, as it would be relevant to the season that it was raised.  Cheers! Resolute 02:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Media - 7th Canuck 

message: Why does this section get removed?  This is good information that is included on other NHL teams' wiki pages.  I see no reason why it should be removed, so whoever is removing it please explain yourself.
:Bascially we have a standard section that deals with honours that is standard across all 30 teams. -DJSasso (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: IMNSHO, this information is better contained in its own article.  Rather than a bare bones list that offers little context or value, it could be moved to List of Vancouver Canucks award winners, which could be expanded to offer greater information.  For comparison sake: Calgary Flames and List of Calgary Flames award winners, both of which are featured. Resolute 16:05, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  NHL Honours 

message: Under the awards section, it has recently been edited that Markus Naslund was the recipient of the recently re-named Ted Lindsay Award, which at the time of his win was named the Lester B. Pearson Award.  I believe that it should remain as the Lester B. Pearson award on this page because that was the name of the award when Naslund won it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.68.15.106 (talk) 18:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ted Lindsay Award 

message: 1) Should we use this table to show the retirees?
12	Stan Smyl
16	Trevor Linden
19	Markus Naslund
2) Should we make a different page for the Ring of Honour?
Waseemg  20:55, 18 October 2010  (UTC)
:No to both accounts, the retired numbers list is standard across every team. The Ring of Honour if it belongs anywhere, which I am not sure it does, would belong on the Vancouver Canucks award winners page. Which I am not sure that it has been created yet for the Canucks. An example is List of Calgary Flames award winners. -DJSasso (talk) 11:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ooh, I like that page.  I think I'll clone it for the Bruins and merge the team award articles I created into it.   Ravenswing  14:25, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes its one of Resolute's many nice featured pages. -DJSasso (talk) 18:08, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

text: I'm actually not opposed to such a table, but I'd probably add the years the player was with the team for context.  But yeah, if we wanted to go that route, it would be nice to discuss it at WT:HOCKEY and decide if we go for all teams.  And, appreciate the compliments on the Flames award list. Resolute 18:18, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The table is nice looking, but it would be colour for the sake of decoration, which is a no-no. And for Vancouver atleast this particular table would be unreadable by anyone with colour blindness because its green and blue. Personally my favourite was the "banners" we used to have on the Montreal Canadiens page many years ago. However, they were removed for the decoration issue. -DJSasso (talk) 18:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I would pretty much insist on a white background for them all for that reason.  I was contemplating how it would look on the Flames article, and thought that the colour and table could break a text wall nicely, depending on how it was implemented.  Alternatively, a table like what is done at History of the Montreal Canadiens would work. Resolute 18:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Questions 

message: Anyone who's been to Rogers Arena might notice there is a banner hanging in the rafters for the 1981-82 Smythe Division Champions.  This currently isn't reflected in the "Division Championships" section of the page because it wasn't a regular season division championship, but because the NHL used a different format for the playoffs that year, the Canucks were actually the 1981-82 Smythe Division Champions in the PLAYOFFS (Edmonton were the division champs during the regular season).  How should this be reflected in the division championships section?  (I think it should be, because technically it was a division championship and there is a banner hanging in Rogers Arena for it).24.69.65.132 (talk) 17:53, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it should be changed, imo.  For most teams between 81-82 and 92-93, the division championship was won in the playoffs, not the regular season.  The Oilers do not recognize 81-82 as a season in which they won the Smythe.  Likewise, they do not recognize 85-86 as a division win, nor do the Flames recognize 87-88.  It becomes confusing because prior to 81-82, the division and conference championships were won in the regular season due to the playoff format being division and conference independent.  After 93-94, the divison returned to being a regular season achievement when the new conference playoff format was added.  Per that standard, I'm adding 81-82 to the Canucks article and removing it from the Oilers. Resolute 18:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that I think about it, I've removed the 91-92 and 92-93 titles from the infobox on the same reasoning.  Resolute 18:07, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I removed that small statement because it was inaccurate.  They Canucks and Sabres became the 13th and 14th teams in the league at the time of joining the league in 1970. Given the large number of defunct teams before the 'Original 6' era, the Sabres and Canucks were not the 13th and 14th to join from the NHL's inception as was implied.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helmut Hedd (talk • contribs) 00:28, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I noticed that eight Canucks have this  next to their name. According to , only Hamhuis and Samuelsson are injured. Also, as a diehard 'Nucks fan, I have heard nothing about the other six who are supposedly injured. Does anyone have a source to back these up?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmfriesen (talk • contribs) 23:01, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have sources handy but certainly alot of them are definitely injured. Raymond for example broke his back and is out until at least Christmas. That being said it doesn't really matter since the season is done. All of the injury flags should probably be removed. There is not disabled list in the summer. I am betting your link just hasn't been updated since there is no DL in the summer. -DJSasso (talk) 23:47, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Oooh, I forgot about Raymond. That's embarrassing. Anyways, I think only the ones that aren't confirmed should be removed, and I noticed Kesler doesn't have the symbol, even though he played in the Final with a lower body injury. Jmfriesen (talk) 00:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and removed the symbol from all of the player except Raymond per DJSasso's comments. Raymond should be the only one out by the start of next season and if I'm wrong the symbol can be added back at that time. here is an article mentioning most of the players who were listed as injured.--Mo Rock...Monstrous  (leech44) 12:48, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Injuries on the Roster 

message: I notice that Jerseys change every year and that the current ones get uploaded to wikipedia but once a jersey isn't used anymore, it doesn't seem to be on wikipedia anymore. I was looking through the BC Lions page and they have their current Jerseys on the main page like every other sports team. One interesting note with them if you search through their individual seasons such as their 1994 BC Lions season, they have the Jerseys that they wore that year on that page. My suggestion is that we do that for the Canucks season by season pages so the pages can be more insightful about what Jerseys that wore each year. Secondcube (talk) 23:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That is pretty clearly copied from NHLUniforms.com, which is copyrighted both by the owner of the website and the respective teams, the Canucks in this case.

replies: text:  You only gave others a few hours to object, some editors only check a couple times a day. I for one, upon looking at the addition on my computer, the image takes up most of the screen and completely breaks up the format of the page. I can only imagine what it would do on mobile. I am not sure this is really necessary as wikipedia does not need every detail on everything ever, it should simply be a summary. There are other sites dedicated to this sort of thing and I am not sure a giant image is really helpful to a reader. (Especially if we have to make it really small to fit on the screen, then you can't see any of the details; or really large to see the details and not fit on the screen). And even though it is one image, does this not also violate the fair-use clause of WP:GALLERY with the use of multiple logos? Yosemiter (talk) 18:36, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Canucks Jerseys season by season 

message: Wayne Maki - The Canucks unofficially retired his Number 11 jersey until Mark Messier, who had worn Number 11 with the Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers, joined the team. Buffalkill (talk) 13:13, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. There is no citation regarding that, so unless there is something proving that those numbers are thus honoured, I'll take it down within a few days. Kaiser matias (talk) 12:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I also could find no references for the number's retirement (except a blog, but it seemed written in such a way that it was referencing this page). However,  re-added it back when it was removed in March stating, "The number has been taken out of circulation, it's stated on a board at Rogers Arena" in the edit summary. I am not positive, but it seems like since there has never been any number retirement announcement, it might just be his name and number were raised as a memorial due to his tragic death. Meaning, maybe the man himself is what is being honoured, not the number. Yosemiter (talk) 13:24, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: To preempt a discussion, I removed the names and numbers a few hours ago, and had that reverted, with a source at least, with a summary questioning my motives. However as that source only mention's Maki and #11, the others have once again been removed, and until something substantial can prove they are out of circulation, they should be. Don't let this be interpreted as me being against their inclusion though, or unfamiliar with either the team or the article; I support noting them on the page, however they need to be backed up, and there is currently no evidence to prove that they are. That said, I noted here a week ago that unless a source was found I'd remove them, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. Kaiser matias (talk) 10:59, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

text:  Here is a source showing that #28 (Bourdon) and #37 (Rypien) are out of circulation: http://www3.telus.net/dmarchak/cannumb.htm. I re-added them to the list as well.Fhsig13 (talk) 23:27, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have no horse in this race, but is that a reliable source? It reads like it could have been taken from wikipedia. (Also since the claim for removal has been as "unsourced", you probably should have made it an inline citation.) The source you are pointing out also never says it was taken "out of circulation", just that it has not been used. Is there a source that come from the team or a player being told they could not use those numbers? Yosemiter (talk) 01:01, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

text: I have emailed the Canucks fan services email, asking for verification of the numbers, and I await a response. (I asked about 11, 28, 37, & 38, as well as if there are any others we didn't know about. I also re-added Demitra to the list for the time being and updated the info surrounding who wore number 11 after Wayne Maki, as the source I stated above shows that Chris Oddleifson wore it for two seasons, from 1974-1976.

The History section currently lists the team's eras by General Manager, but the current era is titled by the current President of hockey operations Jim Rutherford, not the current GM Patrik Allvin.

I think (really I should know, I'm a Penguins fan) that Allvin was hired after Rutherford, so it was meant to be temporary. Now that Allvin is running the office I think it makes sense to change it. dannymusiceditor  oops  23:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
