Canuck Blues ... But Not Sad
The Vancouver Canucks entered the National Hockey League the same season as the Buffalo Sabres, so they have been an NHL team for more than 35 years.
Both teams started with jerseys with blue the main color, and both original jerseys were much more attractive than the newer versions, with Vancouver also taking the award for ugliest jersey not only between these two teams but possibly in NHL history with the yellow, brown, black and red monstrosities.
Val and I both like the medium/slightly dark blue original Canuck jerseys, including the simplicity of the hockey stick on a white bed surrounded by blue. So we were unhappy, but not surprised, when Don Cherry, in one of his typically stupid statements on Hockey Night in Canada, not only criticized the jersey and its color a few days ago, but referred to it as "powder blue." Like or dislike them, is Cherry just blind? Powder blue is about 5-10 shades lighter on the blue scale, but the innuendo is oh, so wonderful.
