Haaaaarold!

Since the writing ideas have been coming slow for me in the weeks leading up to the playoff run, and why wouldn't it with the Canucks all but wrapping up a top three spot, in an effort to generate ideas and to show some Canuck love, this week will be dedicated to the seven most influential Canucks in team history.  When I do specific players is in no way, an indication of how much of an influence they have on me or the team.

Today's Canuck is actually being honored tonight in the Canucks game versus the Minnesota Wild with a spot in the team's Ring of Honor.  Harold Snepsts wasn't a superstar on the blue line, but the combination of passion and intensity were what got the Canucks fans in the 70's and 80's behind him, not to mention, a mustache that could rival any porn star's.  His willingness to stand up for teammates earned him the "Haaaarold" chants in opposing arenas, as well as the Pacific Coliseum, where the Canucks called home.  He had two stints with Vancouver, but in each one, his style of play earned admirers and tonight, it all comes full circle as he joins Orland Kurtenbach, Kirk McLean, and Thomas Gradin in the team's Ring of Honor.
