My Mom and I watched his first game playing for the Vancouver Canucks, his first end to end rush had everybody out of their seats, thanks Bure ,those were fun times.
First game I ever saw him play was in 92 against the Blackhawks. He had about a dozen shots on goal including a couple of breakaways. Didn't score but every time he touched the puck the crowd was out of their seats.
I'm going to brag here and divulge I was in attendance of game that Bure scored !! Vancouver vs Florida in Vancouver. Cheeky goal from the side of the net. It happened so fast we all kinda missed it. Took the Jumbotron to give us witness to the magic that is Pavel Bure The Russian Rocket
As a Vancouver Canuck fan, Pavel was the only player that I am aware of who could rush the net at full speed and not need to slow down in order to score. A truly remarkable player and athlete. A well deserved honour to be inducted. God bless you Pavel for providing the fans such amazing memories.
