In 2 years our top ten, all time will be so different.

[DANJR]

By the end of this Season there will be a few changes to out Top Ten all time.
Both Petey and JT will enter the conversation.

Petey should make it up to 7th place, JT will probably slot in at 8th.  Knocking Bert and Bo out of the top ten.

With the end of the following season, it should see both Quinn Hughes and most likely Brock Boeser enter the fray as well.
Both may get really close to the 500 points mark.  Knocking Tanti and Bure out of our Top Ten all time.
Petey will have moved ahead of Gradin, JT should be close as well.  

The interesting race will be to see who will hit 500 points first between Brock and Quinn.  Quinn has to make up 50+ points.

It will be sad seeing all those legends get knocked out of our top ten, but that means we have new legends in the making.
Will take a while, but I think a few of our guys can get close to the top of our all time leaders. 
Petey with 8 years should be able to put up 600 points getting him to pass 1000 points.


What are your thoughts, will it be happy or sad days for you to see the top ten change.



(Forgive me for looking so far ahead, but I love career stats.)

As long as the Steamer remains in the Top 10 I’m good

[Wilbur]

I have a spreadsheet which I update after every game (hey, I'm a dork and it relaxes me ).  I always like it when someone cracks the top 100.  It means the standard is just a little higher for the next player to crack the top 100.  The next level is when they pass Messier.  That guy needs to be as far down the all-time Canuck scoring list as possible.  Garland will be the next one to achieve that.

 

58	Mark Messier	C	207	52	110	162
59	John Gould	RW	218	82	76	158
60	Dave Babych	D	409	23	131	154
61	Gary Lupul	LW	293	70	75	145
62	Conor Garland	RW	240	56	89	145

 

A few years back I started a project where I would try to get, for every player that played a game in a Canuck jersey, 1 card of them in a Canuck jersey.  I sort it by games played (regular season + playoffs....so all the "meaningful" games).  It's interesting to see players move up there too, although it'll be a bit before anyone on the current roster cracks the top 9

Ohlund sits 9th at 822 games while Boeser is closest with 508 games (on page 4).

I hope we get a flood of great Canuck prospects and knock he who shall not be named off the top 100.

PM me I will try and send you a bunch of old ones (late 80's - mid 90's).

The only time Ive ever heard about Tony Tanti is in these lists. He's the most anonymous and it isn't close.

And now you’re gonna be flooded with one Tony Tanti story after another! 

[DANJR]

I'll start.  Tony Tanti was a tipping genius.  Some tv personality was watching the end of practice.  Tanti starting tipping pucks.  He didn't miss a single one.  The shooters started shooting harder and all over.  He still didn't miss any, the shooters started shooting at him, his ass, his torso, his head.  He didn't flinch and didn't miss any.

I wish I could remember if it was like Howie Meeker, Don Cherry or a local commentator.

All the girls thought I looked like him, made for fun times.

[Zimmyparttwo]

Tanti 197 goals in a five season stretch which seems considerable using our present game as a comparison. He was a pure sniper despite the fact that he never scored fifty, never finished in the top 10 goal scorers and played on a team and league where Darcy Rota could score 42 goals (!). 
 

His ability to manipulate that beautiful Titan 2020 TPM was a thing of beauty though. A buddy of mine, a supremely skilled skater and distributor with an explosive shot which he rarely used, had a Tanti model 2020. Can’t remember the exact lie but the curve was subtle and seemed to start almost at the heel. The closest right handed version I could find varied between a Selanne and Vaive variation both of which I’ve kept for remembrance sake.

 

Such bad Canuck teams in the mid eighties, but they were our Canucks and Tony Tanti was a legit “star”, even briefly.
