On This Day In Canucks History: March 19

March 19, 1971: Rosaire Paiement scores his 30th goal of the season, becoming the first Canuck ever to reach that mark. The Canucks would go on to defeat the Penguins 6-4.
Paiement scored a career-high 34 goals in his first season with Vancouver. He only played two seasons for the Canucks before moving to the WHA where his career came to a sudden end when Dave Semenko elbowed and punched him in the left eye, causing permanent damage and an early retirement. He currently lives in the Fort Lauderdale area and is part owner of JB Locals, a restaurant/sports bar.

I absolutely love the Canucks’ leaked third sweater. It has a sharp and bold updated look to it, while linking it to our Canuck past. At first, I didn’t like the Stick ‘n Rink being modified. I thought it looked too cartoonish and crooked. However, the updated Stick has grown on me greatly. It is actually a close-up and the fact that the Stick is on an angle makes it look like as if it’s in action and the logo itself looks more like a "C". As for the Johnny Canuck V, BEAUTIFUL!! I actually would have put this pretty logo on the front. This is the head of the original Johnny Canuck while it’s incorporated onto the top of a V.
For those who are more sentimental towards the original Stick and Johnny Canuck logos and you can include me, let’s remember something. The Montreal Canadiens CH evolved in 1953. The N.Y. Rangers didn’t have serifs and 3D shadowing in their original wordmark design. The Vancouver Whitecaps modified their Ball on the Wave logo when the Whitecaps’ name was brought back. Only time and success will make this new sweater more popular.
By the way, you can take it to the bank that this will be the Canucks’ full-time sweater and then, we will see the Johnny Canuck V on a new third green sweater, which will be sweet.

Pretty sure Rosie played with Andre Boudrias that first year. He was a fan favorite because he could score and scrap. Yeah, Wilf and Rosaire are brothers. Lastly, quite a few Canucks of the day bailed when the WHA started up. A few of them (Ted Taylor, Murray Hall, John Schella, etc.) went to play with Gordie Howe with the Houston Aeros.
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.

Was the WHA a good thing? Besides raising pay and having hockey in new places?

At that time
Players’ pay needed raising, owners were getting fat off the talent and the talent was getting the shaft.
Besides, playing with Gordie alone makes it a great move.
Everybody knows
That the world is full of stupid people
Well I got the pistols so I'll keep the Pesos
Yeah that seems fair
