This kinda falls under the Canada is Awesome theme... but honing in on a Vancouverite, who has been a huge part of Vancouver and Canadian hockey for years and years, is what I feel like doing!
Pat Quinn is awesome! Watching his face get all scrunchy and seeing his eyes disappear cause he's smiling when Canada won the gold medal the other day is great. Without him, who knows... without his coaching and patient presence on the bench... maybe no Olympic gold medal in Salt Lake City '02, no Canucks/Rangers final in '94, no under 18 gold medal, no Spenglar wins, and no WJ gold in '09...
who knows... but that's a lot of stuff...
but what I do know is that Pat Quinn is AWESOME!
thanks Pat!
