message: I was the one who named him Greg "Gus" Adams. I did that as a way of separating the two Greg Adams that have played in the NHL. If a better way to separate the Adams exists, then I will be happy to hear suggestions. Using "nicknames" is, in my humble opinion, a good way of separating players with the same name and separating players who share a name with someone else famous who wasn't a hockey player. Masterhatch 4 September 2005
:The 'other' Greg Adams was generally referred to as "Greg C. Adams," and he barely played for the Canucks (or any NHL team, for that matter), so I wouldn't be too concerned about confusion. -J21

message: The flags are a neat idea, but I feel compelled to point out that putting German and Korean flags for Sven Butenschon (a Canadian citizen who learned to play hockey in Alberta) and Richard Park (a U.S. citizen who learned his hockey in Ontario) respectively, is a little misleading. -J21
: Hm.  This is worth discussing on the Team Pages Format talk page.  RGTraynor 04:22, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it is misleading at all to put a Korean flag next to Richard Park. He was born in Korea to Korean parents. He is a Korean who came to North America at an early age. If you don't put a Korean flag next to Park, what do you put? An American flag? Sure that might in some cases, but Park learned hockey in Canada, so then do you put a Canadian flag next to his name? Trying to separate out players by where they learned hockey or what citizenship(s) they have becomes just way too confusing and complicated and that would involve creating a list of "rules" how to classify players. It is so much simpler to just go by their birth country. It seems wrong to put anything but a Korean flag next to Park. Anyways, the discussion is being continued here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Team pages format Masterhatch 14:30, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Park has US citizenship and plays for Team USA in international tournaments. According to the page Masterhatch referred to, that is justification for an American flag in Park's case because there is no question to which country he pledges allegiance to. --Buchanan-Hermit 17:00, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Current Roster hijinks 

message: As the subject is the "Vancouver Canucks", I believe that more info about the early pre-NHL years should be included on the same page. I realize that many only think of the Canucks as an NHL expansion club, but they are wrong. Many/most of the Canucks' WHL players carried over into the NHL, (Kurtenbach, Howie Young, Tracy Pratt, Cesare Maniago, Charlie Hodge, etc.) and I suspect that much of the management did too. Take a look at the Edmonton Oilers page and their reference to the WHA years for example. Unfortunately, info on the early years isn't so easy to find, (for me, anyway) but I'm going to try and do some digging and see what I turn up. If anyone else is interested, please do the same. Also, I find it a bit amazing that there's no mention or link anywhere in the Canucks' entry about the Stanley Cup-winning Millionaires/Maroons, their home ice - the massive (for the time) and innovative Denman Arena, or the Patrick brothers. The Lions of the NWHL/PCHL, and the Blazers of the WHA should be noted as well, in my opinion. Vancouver has a long and fascinating hockey history. This should be recognized. Oystergumbo 11:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  But not here.  The article is about the Canucks, not about Vancouver hockey history in general.  The Blazers have their own page as do the Patricks, and if you want to do up pages for the Millionaires or flesh out the other articles, go for it!  Of course, as the one non-WHA team with a clear pre-NHL lineage, I agree that more attention should be paid to the WHL Canucks; heck, it's why I kept Andy Bathgate on the Hall of Fame list for Vancouver, because unlike a number of other players cited, he genuinely was an impact player for the WHL team.

replies: text:  If what you mean is that the Canucks' page should discuss the team's PCHL/WHL history, I completely agree -- unique to any other non-WHA team since the NHL was founded, the WHL Vancouver Canucks were admitted to the league outright; there's a clear and unarguable lineage. RGTraynor 05:58, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Agreed.  I could do the research, but there's a lot on my plate right now, and deserving WHL teams without a constituency (Seattle Totems, Portland Buckaroos, etc.). RGTraynor 00:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The Canucks are not an original six club. Listing "rivalries" is a bit sketchy under any circumstances - as every team is technically a rival - but in the case of this expansion club, it is completely frivolous. It should be left on the Rangers/Bruins/Leafs/Habs pages. Oystergumbo 08:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I can think of some non-Original Six rivalries:  Philadelphia-Pittsburgh, Isles-Rangers, Edmonton-Calgary.  Not many, though.  RGTraynor 08:58, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You beat me to the punch. I was just about to post a similar response. Notice those teams you mentioned are really close to each other and are in the same state or province. I had already moved Edmonton as a rival off the Canucks page once and it was put back on. Oystergumbo then removed it again. Edmonton isn't in the same province and Vancouver rarely meets them in the playoffs. Masterhatch 09:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

message: So WB, you think that it looks better with the blank spots beside the season? Using your reasoning, why don't we use dito marks every time they consecutively miss the playoffs? or consecutively get knocked out in the first round? Those stats are repeating themselves. It looks much better (I think) with the logos beside each season. There is a discussion (although very brief) here and you are quite welcome to post your comments about it there. Also, there are about 4 or 5 teams that do it that way. Changing one and not the others makes no sense. The reason there are only four or five is because I haven't gotten around to finishing them all yet. I have been too busy with my List of NHL seasons of late. Masterhatch 14:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Someone re-entered them just now. But there's one thing that may change, I think -- Ohlund had the "A" for the game at Long Island. Not sure if that's a permanent move or not. I guess time will tell. --Buchanan-Hermit 15:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, Ohlund's wearing the A. Updated the roster for that. I'm assuming this is because of Jovo (the normal A) not being in the lineup recently. --Buchanan-Hermit 22:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think Ohlund needs to have the A listed, it is only temporary because Jovo's out. It'd make no sense to add and remove A's as people get hurt. To tell you the truth I'm surprised they even gave Ohlund the A at all, I thought Bertuzzi or Linden would have just worn it like they usually do for home games. But it may also be some way of saying "hey even though we took away your A when Linden came back, we still appreciate you blah blah" Marcus1060 06:08, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Such as for Jovo DTD, and Cloutier IR? Marcus1060 06:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I've been noting players on IR, (which is a special roster status). Players with Day-to-Day injuries are still counted as on regular rosters and count towards the 23 man limit. They just get scratched for the game-day 20 man rosters. IR is generally more long term and easier to track. I don't feel like maintaining the status of a player that gets scratched 2 games for a sore rib. ccwaters 12:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

The Wild themselves seem to think so -- for reasons I still don't understand -- but I hardly think this is one of the Canucks' bigger rivalries.

replies: text: Being a Canucks fan for a long time, I agree. Minnesota isn't a big rival. It's not even a small rival.

Anyway, thoughts about this superstition or coincidence?
At this time of the season, if the Canucks make it to the finals at their current pace, my prediction is that Buffalo would be the team representing New York (since the city happens to be in NY state), and if it does happen, that would just be very weird. Sandtrooper 19:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Curse 

message: That doctored photo of the Canucks in a weird colour scheme was not created on the Canucks.com site. I've been reading into it, and people seem to believe that. That is because they likely live in Vancouver. This photo was doctored by, likely, the St. John's Courier. It was found in the paper, and therefore was added as a contributing factor to the article (relating to the jerseys). Don't just remove it because the colour scheme looks awful. It contributes to the article, leave it there. 207.216.163.163 07:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That photo does nothing for the article. There is no mention anywhere of why it was put there, or that they plan to use it, or if it was a prototype. Yes, it has been said that the Canucks are looking to change their logo (see this Vancouver Sun article) with an announcment on August 1st. But the Canucks have yet to officialy announce this to anyone short of this article, which is highly speculative. Remember that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We can not speculate about what they might do with the logo. Thats why that image does not belong here. Kaiser matias 09:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Beyond any factor, the fact of the matter is that the Canucks do not use a logo with that color scheme, nor have any announced plans to do so.  I can't for the life of me see what a faked, invented color scheme adds to an article that's supposedly factual any more than would be the case if the newspaper came out with a doctored photo showing the Sedin brothers on the ice wearing string bikinis.

message: I was just reading the article and noticed in the infobox it lists the Canucks as being founded in 1945. While that is true for the WHL team, it is not so for the NHL team. Further confusing the issue is in the opening paragraph it says they started in 1970. The infobox should have some mention as to the fact that they were not an NHL team until 1970, as its confusing, even to longtime followers of hockey.

message: I suggest we reformat this section to the one that is on the Anaheim Ducks page (Team Colors & Mascot)..I would suggest if it were presented (/w pics) the same way. There's been at least 6 jersey sets (not counting Alternate/3rd & 4th jerseys) used by the Canucks, and I can provide what changed:
Set 1 (70–72)
These had "V"s on the arms.
Set 2 (72–78)
The "V"s were removed and the striping design changed.
Set 3/Terrible V's
Self-explanitory, used for 6 seasons...
Set 4 (??-91/92)
The giant V's were moved to the shoulders, and the skate is now the crest.
Set 5 (91/92–97)
White comes in for home jerseys, and Vs ultimatly removed. The (somewhat) V-like style would be ressurected in 95/96 for the 3rd jersey (the red one).
Set 6 (97-Pres)
Current jerseys. Minor additions in the 03–04 season added the Stick logo to the shoulders in current team colors. 3rd jersey for this set is the "Salmon" jersey, removed from the stocks this past season in favor of the 72–78 Away jersey. The Home version of the 72–78 jersey was used in the Vintage Program a few seasons ago..
For the logos, I would describe the logos like on the Ducks page as well...

message: Jersey section needs more pics, specifically of what the current jerseys look like. Also, the team mascot needs to be mentioned somewhere. Love each other, or perish. ~Auden 05:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Photos of jerseys are somewhat problematic, since other than fans in the stands with a camera, very few of them pass the fairly-harsh fair use rules.  As far as mascots go, I disagree; at the NHL level, almost all team mascots are desperately trivial, and few fans could name them if they tried.  (I certainly couldn't name the Bruins' mascot except in so far as it's in a bear costume.)    RGTraynor  13:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just to add a point about their current jersey - the NHL has implemented new Reebok jerseys to be used by all teams this year; and the Canucks have yet to unveil theirs.  Thricecube 19:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: To try and avoid what looks like a looming conflict, I will provide some information. The jerseys are going to essentially need user photos, of which most people tend to not focus their attention on. The mascots are all well covered in their corresponding articles, which is listed here. Not every team has a mascot, and the ones that do, their team articles each have a link to the mascot's page.

That being said, the hockey Wikiproject long since agreed on the utility of some common elements and on the information we wished each page to have.  Mascots have not been among those items.  Please feel free to discuss such common elements on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey.    RGTraynor  16:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This article states that the riot took place after the Canucks lost game 7, caused by 'disappointed' fans who were 'drinking heavily', which is incorrect.  The riot took place after Game SIX, which the Canucks WON, and the riot was caused by happy enthusiastic fans who had been drinking heavily and were aggressively confronted by police riot squads after a beat cop got punched in the middle of the crowd.  Most of the 'rioters' didn't even know that happened until they got home and watched the news on TV, all they knew during the 'riot' was that they were being attacked by cops in riot gear firing teargas and rubber bullets (one which struck a guy in the head and put him in a coma for a couple weeks).  Game 7 took place in New York City, which is why there were not Vancouver fans on the streets of downtown Vancouver to cause any riot out of 'disappointment'.  Game Six took place in Vancouver, so all the fans poured out of the arena, and everyone who was watching it on TV headed downtown to celebrate the WIN with fellow fans.  Hockey riot out of 'disappointment'.. AS IF!  This is pretty shoddy fact checking, folks... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.67.209 (talk • contribs) 00:13, November 21, 2007
:Having watched with disappointment as the Canucks lost Game 7, I can tell you that the riot didn't start after game 6, it was indeed game 7. As a simple glance at the relevent article, 1994 Stanley Cup riot states, with several newspaper sources to back the claim, it was after game 7. Now the choice of wording on how to describe the participants of the riot can be seen as questionable, however it does not deter from the fact that the riot was happening while the Canucks were in New York, proving the fact checking has been done properly.

thread_title:  Error in page 

message: This article had once been showcased... October 2007..... on the portal.  The portal has been changed to rotate content automatically, and as it had once been on the portal, possibly should return even though it is a B class article not GA, A, or FA.  I didn't re-add the article, as the talk page template for the portal was not  on the article talk page.  And more importantly the article is tagged with This article has multiple issues.  Could someone more familiar with the article fix the errors mentioned in the template, so the article can be re-situated into the portal proper, if so desired.
