I will say mogilny is a close second!

Skill wise yes, overall as a figure of the franchise not even close.

Hype3Dsnip3r I saw his. First practice game. A joy to watch

Genius on ice.

Better than the wwe the Rock

Idk about " ever " but hes up there

I was at the first game. I still get goosebumps thinking about it.

He was kind of my hero growing up in northern BC

Indeed. Very humble and an amazing talent. Thank you for sharing

@@delpierochch I didn't have many people to Inspire me as a kid. Pavel was a hero, and I aspired to be a sniper like him. And watched his games. When he retired, NHL was dead to me

He arguably kickstarted the amazing hockey mentality of vancouver.

A real genuine guy

He should have played his whole career in Van but management fucked it all up.

@@gunman462 I'm genuinely curious as to how the team messed things up w him. As a young kid once NHL 94(?) on genesis allowed trades I had a Bure Mogilny Federov 3rd line. Bure is one of my all time favorites from the other conference but I know nothing about this.

@@bxball they didn't the problem was Vancouver fans/media he became a Vancouver Area icon and he couldn't go anywhere without being harassed and he couldn't live a normal life so he requested a trade and ended up being sent to the team with the least interested hockey fan base in the league in the panthers. It had nothing to do with management.

It was most definitely the management and not the city, media, or the fans. The Canucks organization fucked up and started playing mind games with a stone cold Russian who doesnt play mind games. He gave them everything. A reason to watch Canucks hockey. And a chance to win it all. The fans knew it. The media knew it. His team knew it. The management clearly didnt. They broke the cardinal rule: You dont disrespect your greatest asset.

Agreed, thanks for that.

My boss gave me tickets to that game. Took my wife, she wasn’t much of a hockey until that night. I thanked him for years. We were about 12 rows up from the Sony sign in the corner. When Bure picked up the puck and wheeled up the ice it was like watching the Roadrunner leave the Coyote behind.

actually, just the fastest....or at least in the discussion.....certainly the most exciting

and that's why it's in the UKposts archives.

broadcasterpro debatable between him and Fedorov.

Yeah, Fedorov learned that the rink has two ends.

What about Ovechkin?

Pavel Barber2 fetisov was doing it a lot against Nhl teams in the 80s but Iam nit sure who first did it but the Euros are good at it haha

@@paveldatsyuk7175 Fetisov.

Иван Морозов thanks : )

Trevor Philips maybe my favorite part of all the tapes

+mandez19 Fedorov was faster top end speed than bure, a better pure skater though bure was more explosive and faster to get up to speed.

Disagree. Bure had a better top speed as well. Feds was very fast as well though, but 1994 Bure was the fastest player I've ever seen. McDavid, Gartner, prime Marian Gaborik I would also rank ahead of Fedorov.

@@PavelGaborik Bure is known as extremely explosive to accelerate which is gold compared to top end speed which is whatever. There are a lot of fast top end guys.

@@gunman462 Which is essentially why comparing top speed is useless on such a small ice surface. We typically only see small bursts. FWIW though judging from those bursts - Bure was both more explosive and had the superior top speed AND agility to boot. As elite as Feds was, Bure was just that much better (skating wise)

@@PavelGaborik Fedorov was the most complete of the 3 (Mogilny, Bure, Fedorov). Hell, Fedorov might be the most complete hockey player the game has ever seen.

Pound for Pound, probably.

not taking anything away from guys like pettersson or brock but there was only ONE BURE, nothing will come close.

@@tpp27 I'd say it's arguable Elias Pettersson comes very close if not the same level as Bure, after watching him through his first half season. It's hard to compare because the Bure nostalgia is strong, but I think we'll be looking back at Petterssons early career the same way in years to come. Bure was different than any other player at the time which also adds to the excitement. For someone who grew up through the early 90's Canucks, Pettersson gets me just as pumped as I remember being with Bure.

because Messier was r*ping him and Doug Messier told him to keep his mouth shut and the management apparently knew

Pavel

if you knew bure's history then this wouldn't even be a question.

What are we talking about... Practice?

Bure was probably first eh?
