Canuck Place Gift of Time Gala: Kristian’s Story 
Concord Jersey Tuesday
Last Tuesday I launched a jersey contest series with Concord Social, an online community that engages Vancouverites and curates ideas in design, architecture, and technology. We had a fantastic response as hundreds shared how they will be watching the Vancouver team and cheering them on this season. Entries came from around BC, Canada, and the globe. We’re keeping the momentum going this week by giving away a #14 jersey.
A part of the Vancouver team 2005, #14 has become a fan favourite with his sharp wit, clutch goal scoring, and hockey with heart attitude. The team has named him “Most Exciting Player” in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and he currently sits on the team’s top line. Did you know he has also been inducted into the Canadian and International Ball Hockey Halls of Fame?
Here’s how you can enter to win and proudly wear number #14 on your back:
- Leave a comment here naming who you think is the most exciting Vancouver player, past or present (1 entry)
- Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)
I will draw one winner next Tuesday that will be announced in the next Concord Jersey Tuesday contest post. Last week’s winner is Gary! Follow Concord Social on Twitter and Facebook for more information about their local and national developments.
Update The winner is @hannah_thud!

Chris Higgins!
captain kirk!
For me, Pavel Bure was the most exciting Canuck to watch in the past.
Two words: Pavel. Bure.
stan smyl
The most obvious answer Pavle Bure, hands down.
Pavel Bure….not even close!
gotta go with burrrrrrr
Pavel Bure was the most exciting Canucks player ever, but Burrows is a close second
Can’t pick one! Pavel… Higgins… Sedin’s
Pavel Bure!
Chris Higgins as of late but the Bure back in the days for sure.
most exciting present players…both Sedins. When they start passing that puck around…
I still love Luongo…. <3
Most exciting? Pavel Bure, hands down.
Pavel Bure….. no questions about that.
Actually mine is Burrows anyways. Fate?
Chris Higgins
The Russian Rocket!
The Russian Rocket – Pavel Bure !
So many choices, but my fave is Capt. Kirk McLean. His charisma & leadership was so great during that era.
Alex Burrows
HIGGINS!
Alex Burriws…I’ve been a fan since I saw him in his first Cancuks training camp
Though I’m loathe to say it, Pavel Bure!
Trevor Linden!!
Pavel Bure
Pavel Bure…but Alex Burrows is a close second!
Pavel Bure. Full stop.
The one and only… Trevor Linden.
IF the Sedin twins can’t count as one (honestly, it’s like they can see where the other is without looking on a play), then the Russian Rocket, Pavel Bure, has to the one.
Burrows is my favourite; this would be so great to win!!
Definitely Pavel Bure!
Past Pavel Bure
Pavel Bure!
Burrows! <3
BURROWS! 🙂
alex burrows
Alex Burrows!!!!!!please, pick me…..!
I think Burrows is amazing!!!
H. Sedin is one of the best 🙂
Love Alex, he named his daughter Victoria..Go Canucks Go!!
Schneider!
BURROWS! hands down…
Hank n Dank, i know its 2 lol 😉
Trevor.
bure for sure. even though i love cooke
Pretty sure that would have to be Pavel Bure.
Alex Burrows now, Tiger Williams long ago!
Growing up I loved Tiger Williams fights! Alex is my favorite these days…
Linden!!
pavel!
TREVOR LINDEN!! Love him!
lapierre, haha
Ryan Kesler!
Trevor Linden. But do we have to say Alex Burrows to win haha? Either way, I think the whole Canucks team is exciting and more so now the playoffs are just around the corner. Can’t wait.
I like Lapierre. He’s a grinder with finesse. He makes things happen by pressuring the other team and then hustling back on D. He’s well rounded and a pleasure to watch.
Trevor Linden
Alex Burrows is my favourite
Most exciting Canuck ever has to be Pavel Bure.
Bieksa!
Well, if it’s “exciting” I’d have to say Pavel Bure, but in his day Tiger Williams could get a crowd going!! Just say’n….lol.
I have to say Burrows himself!
Hodgson was most exciting Canuck for me in the 2011-2012 regular season… didn’t know what limits the kid had..
Pavel Bure without a doubt.
Pavel Bure without a doubt.
Anyone that says otherwise, clearly never had the chance to see how phenomenal of a player he was.
Trevor Linden
Burrows is a lively one to watch on the ice, no doubt. As a team, when they’re gelling, that’s when it’s exciting.
Bure. There’s no competition.
Alex Burrows #14!!! He is so unique and he always has different tremendous moves every time he plays. You never no what he’s going to do! Game 7 against the Blackhawks….now that was the most deadliest and exciting game ever!! Thanks to Burrows and his unexpected move, the Canucks won and made it the unforgettable game in history!!!
Pavel Bure but when it mattered in the playoffs…Trevor Linden
Definitely Pavel Bure!
Burrows!!
Pavel Bure. Nothing like the Rocket’s skating.
Pavel Bure was the most exciting to watch
I’m going to have to go with Burrows.
Present is a tossup between Burrows or Bieksa.
Past would be Bure or Linden for me!
Past – it has to be Trevor Linden!!!
most exciting canuck without a doubt… past and present… pavel bure.
Alex Burrows =)
all hail Linden!
’94 playoff run, clearly one of the greatest.
Russian Rocket. His moves are on the all time highlight reel
Believe it or not…Burrows!
Most exciting, without a doubt, was Pavel Bure. Hands down.
Burrows!
Pavel Bure was an amazing player.
Trevor Lindon
Bieksa!
The right answer is always: Trevor Linden
I would agree with commenter, Baljinder Punni, that the present player is Alex Burrows “Game 7 against the Blackhawks….now that was the most deadliest and exciting game ever!! Thanks to Burrows and his unexpected move, the Canucks won and made it the unforgettable game in history!!!”
Past player: Pavel Bure for sure
present: BURRRROWS <3
past: TREVOR LINDEN <3
Pavel Bure, no question!
Pavel Bure
As of late, Higgy!
Whenever Booth drives to the net alone. Doesn’t happen too often, but exciting when it does!
When I first started watching Hockey, all I remember was my dad & uncle constantly talking about Pavel Bure, Pavel Bure, Pavel Bure. Yup, he was definitely exciting and super fun to watch – and even though not my favorite, you can not deny that when he is on the ice, it’s pretty electrifying!
TREVOR LINDEN!!!
Alex Burrows when he showboats 🙂
Pavel Bure
Pavel. Bure!!
Alex Burrows!
C. Schneider!
#14!! Burrows!!
Past- Bure
Present- Burrows
All-time is Pavel Bure, with Burrows as current and second all-time.
Past Canuck: Pavel Bure. Current Canuck: Alex Burrows!!!
I would vote for Raffi Torres. The guy was a bowling ball.
The Russian Rocket, Pavel Bure would have to take the cake on this one (past)!

Trevor Linden FTW!
While I initially thought Pavel Bure, I’m going to go with Tony Tanti. And yes, Tony gets my vote because no one else has shown him the love yet.
Bure certainly was amazing to watch…but I’d have to say that Burrows is more exciting!
Have to go with the obvious, Pavel Bure.
It’s always been burrows for me!
Markus Naslund 🙂
gotta go with Trevor Linden!
Fedor Fedorov!
I’m also a fan of Lappy cause he can get under ppls skin but he’s also got skill to back it up.

Pavel Bure!
Without a doubt, this isn’t even close; no contest… Pavel Bure.
Burrows b/c he is full of surprises like shooting the winning OT goal during Game 7 of round 1 of the playoffs last year.
“Most Exciting” has to be Pavel Bure.
Although some of us remember 1980-81, when Tiger Williams scored a team-leading 35 goals (5 more than Daniel Sedin this year) and led the league in penalty minutes with a staggering 343.
Trevor Linden – OF COURSE! :)))))
Burrows! But Linden and Henrik are close behind!!
Chris Higgins
dan cloutier! his ability to fight was unparalleled.

Most exciting individual player? Pavel Bure. But then I’ve seen the Sedins do things that make my jaw drop. And Trevor just has to be mentioned because, well, he’s Trevor Linden.
Most exciting…David Booth
Most exciting ever has got to be Bure. He was electric every time he was on the ice!
David Booth! The guy can skate and knows how to deke!
My MOST exciting player to watch is Lapierre!! For sure!
Of course Bure was it in the past, but for now…I really get entertained watching Lapierre…lol

If we’re including the past, most definitely Pavel Bure for me.

Has to be The Russian Rocket!
Most Exciting Canuck player is Pavel Bure!
most exciting Canuck player of all time has to be Pavel Bure … you just had to be there!
Paved bure, definitely!
Alex Burrows is a favourite player!
i’d have to say the most exciting player presently on the Canucks are Lapierre and Burrows! Whenever they’re on the ice, you know something exciting will happen – whether it be a goal being scored, a fight with the other team, or agitating the other team!
It’s a tie for Maxim LaPierre & Alex Burrows, But I give Burrowa the title of Kingslayer. 😉
Gino! Gino!
Kevin Bieksa because of his hard work and determination. Also, because of his double-overtime goal against the San Jose sharks, which lead the canucks into the stanley cup playoffs in 2011.
Kesler or Lapierre
This season I’ve been a fan of Lapierre and Booth.
LaPierre, live the crazy eyes when he’s getting into it on the ice!
Pavel Bure no question.
so many to choose from … I’d go with Trevor Linden 😀
Alex Burrows. I just like him.
Most exciting player is the birthday boy, Alex Burrows!
Burrows!
COCONUTS GO!
I was pretty young when he was playing, but I’d have to say Pavel Bure. Unreal.
Bure!!!
Luongo!
Schneider!!
Bure
I’m going out on a limb and mentioning the little play maker ol’ Cliff Ronning #7. I loved how that guy had a puck on a string and could make an exciting play to make other guys look good.
Not because a Burrows jersey is up for grabs….but really, Burrows.
Burrows!
The Russian Rocket, Pavel Bure!
Luongo!
Linden
Burrows gave the most exciting moment ever.
But the most exciting player I think is Bure.
Corey Schneider!
Past on the ice would be a tie between Trevor linden & Pavel bure.. Obvs off the ice Linden wins over all!
Presently I would have to say burrows! He is consistent & makes huge game changing plays!
Bure hands down no questions asked
Cory Schneider!
Pavel bure
Markus Naslund

Tiger Williams
Luongo? he does keep things interesting.
Stan Smyl

I love Burrows to be honest.. he works hard at both ends of the ice and is turning into a clutch player in the playoffs. Canucks need more hard workers like him!
CORY SCHNEIDER!
Alex Burrows
Pavel Bure
If we are looking at the past and present then Pavel Bure.
Pavel Bure for sure!
Bure!
burrows!! <3
none other than cory schneider!
Henrik Sedin
Pavel Bure
I’d have to say Luongo!
Alex Burrows
Luongo – hes such a softie and you can see the determination in his eyes and when he does bad you can read it on his face.
Pavel Bure in his prime was a goal-scoring machine.
I will say Pavel Bure.

Alex Burrows! Love to watch him play with the Sedins
The most exciting Canuck to me is Roberto Luongo. His saves during the games make the fans, including me, cheer and he works very hard at his job!
Pavel Bure, no question!
Pavel Bure was the best Canuck ever!
Without a doubt- Pavel Bure!
The Sedins– when they play together, they’re amazing!!
Bure
I have to agree with my dad 🙂 and say TIGER WILLIAM…old is always Gold
Can’t decide between Luongo and Burrows…I think I’ll go with Roberto Luongo on this one! Despite all the hate he gets from “fans”, he deserves all of our support. Go Canucks Go!!
Cory Schneider!
Pavel Bure, easy.
Burrows!!
Courtnall!!
Definitely number 40 Maxime Lapierre!!! His French Canadian antics are hilarious. I get a childish giggle everytime he antagonizes the other team.
Pavel Bure
We loved watching Cody Hodgson! He was my 4 year old’s favorite player!
linden!
Alex Burrows!! <3
Despite all that time in the box, I’m going with ‘Tiger’ Williams…wow!
Bure!
Pavel Bure of course!
Trevor of course!
The sedins
Pavel Bure!!! He played hockey when I was at the age where it made a HUGE imprint on how I viewed the game. Plus his mom was really cute 🙂 She used to do hair in Burnaby (I think??)
Alex Mogilny
Pavel Bure
Pavel Bure, of course!
Not really sure so I will say Burrows.
Pavel Bure no denying the Russian rocket and his amazing talent
Pavel Bure!
The original stick rider — Dave ‘Tiger’ Williams, BABY!!
Bieksa for sure, just look at the way he fights!
Bure of the past, Daniel Sedin of the present.
Pavel Bure
