Bure had more goals one year in Florida then the guy behind him had points. Has that ever happened before or after? Just insane

Brett Hull did it in '91-'92. He had 70 goals for St. Louis. No one else on the team had more than 69 points. Ovechkin was close to doing this in '05-'06 and '07-'08.

To note: That's 7 short handed goals when there was still a two line pass rule. THAT IS INSANE. Just imagine if Bure had played after the two line pass rule was removed? I remember the first time I saw him on the ice. I think Bernie Pascal was the sports guy for CHEK and they showed Bure on the ice during a practice. He was skating with a parachute behind him (resistance training on skates, basically). Then that first game (against the Jets?), when he was fed for a breakaway. He BLEW through the d-men and got to the net so fast that he barely had time to take a good shot. Didn't score that time, but holy hell was that exciting. I think he's one of the very few players I've ever seen basically get a breakaway in the O-zone while ALL of the opposing team was in the zone (Canucks powerplay I think). It was a game against the Devils where the Canucks were IN the Devils' zone and Bure waterbugged around everyone and was suddenly in all alone on the goalie - he scored.

@afterthesmash 2 жыл бұрын

McDavid will never equal that, because he's too valuable in other game states to run out there on the PK. Nuge is the Oiler mainstay 4v5. Curiously, Drai is the current Oiler mainstay 3v5, despite hardly ever playing 4v5. You don't get many shorties 3v5, no matter what your wheels. Actually, there are a couple of reels on KZfaq of 3v5 goals, each one followed by a comically small group hug. Mike Richards was the king of 3v5 apparently. Philly must have played two men short for half the game. No possible idea how or why that might have happened ...

All Finns will remember Bure from Nagano olympics in 1998 when we had a chance to get gold. We will have a better team in Beijing but back then, we had Lehtinen-Saku Koivu-Selänne. We will never have a line like that again. In the semifinals, Pavel Bure scored 4 goals on all 4 breakaways plus an empty netter and singlehandedly sent us to the bronze game game where we beat Gretzky. Russia's unstoppable scoring machine was completely shutout in the finals by who else, Dominik Hasek.

An ignorant, uneducated and/or otherwise bigoted Finn would hate Pavel Bure simply on account of his Russian heritage. But educated, non-ignorant Finns would (or should) understand that Bure's family was very much a victim of the same Bolshevik regime and Red Army that attacked Finland (to "liberate the Finnish proletariat") without provocation. Bure comes from a family of skilled artisans and craftsmen that were commissioned by the Tsar's court to produce intricate luxury watches of the highest quality. As such, his ancestors were anti-communists sympathetic to the White Russian cause... and were victimized by the same regime that tried to steal Finland's wealth. It's worth remembering details like this during times when the powers that be, hypocritical as they are, enforce political correctness with a ruthless tenacity while simultaneously appealing to anti-Russian xenophobia... in order to further their political goals in Europe. I would recommend you don't fall for the propaganda aimed at railroading Europe into another catastrophic war, in the nuclear era no less!! And of course, egged on most intensely by those least affected by the potentially devastating consequences.

Pavel Bure was my favorite player in the 90's. He was an elegant player that was a pure goal scorer, but people forget that he was also really good defensively because he was an amazing speedy skater and he could take the puck from one side to the other, which he did all the time. He was the fastest guy in the league, the best puck handler, he had the best balance, all the coaches agreed he was the best skater, his talent was through the roof. PS. It's funny he mentioned Tony Amonte in the intro because he was basically the 2nd best at everything Pavel Bure was best at during the same time period. He was probably 2nd fastest, 2nd best breakaway player, 2nd best skater lol

The Richter split save on Bure’s penalty shot during the 94 Cup Finals, sliding door in his career if he scores there and maybe wins the Cup

Still can't believe how the Canucks treated him like shit. Imagine... our very first true superstar. If it had been a Niklas Lidstrom or Bob Gainey type, I think this market would be excited. But to get the most exciting player of his generation and a specialist on breakaways, the most exciting play in hockey, and management drove him away again and again.

Still remember the Canucks giving the Avs all they had in 96. At one point they almost had a 3-2 lead. The Avs were able to come back and win in OT 5-4 and then win 3-2 in game 6.

Bure is one of the first guys that got me excited about hockey before I committed to my hometown Avs (alongside Kariya, Hasek)

There's so many talented players from the 90s that are just absolute icons, both in general and to me, and yet it's sad so see that alot of them didn't get to enjoy the full potential as maybe some superstars of today, just due to so many factors. Who knows who would of happened

It sucks to see guys who should've played more games, but had injury problems and such. Imagine how many more goals and points guys like Bure, Bossy, and Lemieux would've had if they all played like 1200 games. Man.

I remember Sports Page sent someone down to LA where Bure was working out, before he was allowed to sign here. I remember him holding a Canuck sweater up and saying "I hope to play for this team soon". Then he did. And boy did he ever!! Electrifying.

I live in BC and in the early to mid 90's, Bure was THE guy. Every kid playing road hockey was Bure, every kid wanted jersey #10, he completely changed hockey in Vancouver. Great player, fun to watch, but he became a handful towards the end, partly due to management and coaches, but he did bring some of it on himself. I always thought it was funny Gillis got the Canucks best player ever traded out of town, and was made GM later on.
