StrandedonEarth Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) The Canucks are honoring Gino Odjick at tonight's game. The music they were playing during this ceremony was the intro to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." Very fitting, and it gave me goosebumps. RIP Gino. You are very much missed, on and off the ice. The Canucks are all in on honoring Gino Edited January 19, 2023 by StrandedonEarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did meet him though and he was a nice guy. Bought his own season tickets. The only thing the franchise did for him was store his drum.

StrandedonEarth Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thanks for the shoutout @Gargamel, although I admit I don’t always update the title with names that I don’t think are as well known, even though I may sometimes be mistaken with that assumption. If anyone wants to make sure I update a name into the title, please request it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut. Raquel Welch was iconic. Her name was literally a synonym for sex symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
