June 16th, 1992: Pavel Bure receives the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie, becoming the first Vancouver player to win a postseason award. In 65 games his rookie year, Bure scored 34 goals and notched 26 assists. At the same NHL Awards ceremony, Patt Quinn would win the Jack Adams, the first coach to win the award with two different teams.
In addition, on June 16th, 1994, Bure is selected as the NHL’s First Team All-Star Right Winger. Bure is the first Canuck to achieve the honor and, on the same day, he signed a multi-year contract with Vancouver making him the highest paid player in club history (until, of course, Mats Sundin rolled around).

I wish I could’ve seen him play more. and that he could still play. and that you would still use black-ish jerseys….
Как же так может быть?
I couldn’t agree more. Maybe it’s because Bure was the one who made me a hockey fan to begin with, but I have still yet watch a guy who could make me so entranced with his play. I’m sure if I watched Ovechkin more he’d do it but still…Bure was the man.

And he was a monster in the 1994 playoffs. Too bad he cooled off a little in the Finals.
Ole! Bring back the black skate jerseys! I’m in!

At the risk of being permanently black-balled, trot out the V jersey again. That ’82 Cup run was one of the most amazing times of my life. I only wish I could remember more of it.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
They should roll it out as a fourth jersey. Mo’ money mo’ money mo’ money…

Definitely the most exciting hockey player the Canucks have ever had. Two 60 goal seasons, one 50 goal season, and one hellacious hit on Shane Churla. The way Bure left Vancouver may have left a bad taste in some people’s mouths, but you can’t deny what he accomplished while he was here.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
Well the elbow on Churla wasn’t much to be proud about….
Oh what the hell, YES IT WAS! haha

Actually, the Stars were smacking Bure around a lot...
check out this clip.
Who was protecting Bure? Nobody. I guess Odjick wasn’t playing in that series.
Yeah, I guess that could have been elbowing….or interference….or charging. There’s no way in hell Bure would have got away with that these days.

No way Bure would get away with half his hits and spears these days!
