Geoff had a amazing career for someone undrafted. He is one of my favorite Blues of all time. Your right Shannon that 91 trade definitely favored Vancouver over the blues in that deal.
Cool vid, Shannon. I really like the Courtnall brothers. They were phenomenal skaters with blazing speed. Geoff didn't even look like he even laced his skates properly. I was so happy when he got traded to Vancouver as I thought the Canucks could use a former 40 goal man. That trade with the Blues was instrumental in turning the Canucks' fortunes around. Thanks for posting.
Loved Jeff Courtnall. Broke my heart that he had concussion issues in the late 90's with the Blues or they would have been more dangerous in the playoffs.
Love this video, with the Courtnalls and Bear featuring. Geoff scored the Game 5 winner with a helluva shot. Linden scored the game 6 winner at home and Pavel got the game 7 winner.
Geoff Courtnall is my all time favorite player. Solid two way forward and a real antagonizer. Opposing players just seemed to hate him. If I could have seen him play on a line with Pavol Demitra and David Backes, I would have loved it. Of course it's not possible, but one can dream.
It's to bad you cant post pics or videos on youtube comment sections, i have a few funny ones from one of my cats starting to notice the TV i stream your videos from once your cats appear in the clips, she goes nuts every time, jumping infront of the tv trying to play with the kittys. I have had this cat for 7 years now and she have never done this before, only happens when i start these videos with these perticular cats in it, so funny and random at the same time! XD
You missed the crazy stat the year Russ became a Canuck when he was put on the penalty kill with Gelina, Bure, and Lumme and they proceeded to become a dangerous penalty kill (at one point during the season I remember a press person point how short a time they had together and they led the league with shorthanded goals, don't know if that carried to the playoffs). Glad you brought some notice for the Victoria boys :) Honestly thought they didn't get enough league-wide recognition. (Can't believe I forgot Dirk in that trade with Geoff - always remember Ronning and Momesso).
Is there a Verbeek video? I gotta dig that one up. Little known fact: Beeker might not be in the HHOF but his sweater is! Or at least it was when I was there about 10 years ago.
Note that when Noonan came to Vancouver, the coach was still Tom Renney. Keenan was not involved at all. (The Canucks made a lot of bizarre moves around 1996-1998, which speaks to how bad management was and also maybe how much they'd mis-reacted to the near-Cup win in 1994.)
I have to disagree with you on Kordic, and im a lifetime blues fan and although i really like Toni Twist i have to say Probert has to be the best NHL tough guy ever.
What I remember about Russ was he couldn't believe that as the team photographer in Minnesota, I was unwilling to provide him with pictures of himself for free. He felt entitled. I didn't. He made more money in a day than I made in a year. If he wanted them bad enough, he could afford to pay for them just like everyone else.
You should come up with a kind of game involving hockey with the whiteboard and the kitties. Like with your playoff brackets with Yvonne. Get the cats to put their paws on whatever team they think will win. That could be fun. Get them to chase mechanical mice with team logos on them and the one they catch is the team they pick. I want to know who Shadow thinks will win the Cup. If she'll side with the family and Boston or be a traitor LOL. That could be so much fun. Especially if they pick the same team and fight over the same mouse. Cheaters.
Shannon, someone here in St. Louis traced Jordan Bennington all way back to Mike Keenan's trade of Shanahan for Pronger?? How many ex-blues went on to great careers after the blues gave up on them???
I was at the game when Owen Nolan ended Geoff Courtnall's career with that dirty hit. I couldn't believe it. Geoff deserved so much better than that. I still hate Nolan for that.
I didn't expect the cat to be there whole videos. She's just chilling
The cats are always welcome as special guests in your videos.
That cat is an absolute unit.

Are the "can't read the board" commenters jealous of Bear?
Kitties! Shannon youre the Bubbles of the hockey community
Hahah
I remember Geoff a bit more than I do Russ. Funny I was discussing with a friend about the family and now we got a video.
Nice learning about the Courtnall brothers and their careers. Good video and cute cat!

Geoff Courtnall was the first name and number Jersey I got his first stop in St. Louis. His trade to Vancouver still makes me mad.
Kitty be like "less talky more petty"'
Loved Jeff Courtnall. Broke my heart that he had concussion issues in the late 90's with the Blues or they would have been more dangerous in the playoffs.
Spoiler Alert 🚨 the CAT’s #1 Jersey in its collection is an extra small authentic Pavel Bure Florida Panthers jersey in white 😏
Talking about 'mugging' for the camera.
Love this video, with the Courtnalls and Bear featuring. Geoff scored the Game 5 winner with a helluva shot. Linden scored the game 6 winner at home and Pavel got the game 7 winner.
Jason Arnott and Slava Kozlov for THG Hall of Fame! Career of Dany Heatley video would be legendary as well.
dem boys had dat speed in NHL 94 lol

It's possible to play with Courtnall in Web Sim Hockey

The Cat Guy
Geoff Courtnall was always my favorite Canuck.
Love this stuff man, thanks!
Nice video! Cats are always welcome!

blues are winning boys

The cat just sitting there like “ ugh I wanted to cover this topic”
I didn't remember NHL seasons having 84 games. I'm getting old I guess.
I did not either, kind of cool to think about it though.
They did it for 2 seasons: '92-'93 and '93-'94
Note that when Noonan came to Vancouver, the coach was still Tom Renney. Keenan was not involved at all. (The Canucks made a lot of bizarre moves around 1996-1998, which speaks to how bad management was and also maybe how much they'd mis-reacted to the near-Cup win in 1994.)

This was fun
Consider Curt Giles for us short guys for your HOF. Not to mention an undersized defenseman was a true unicorn in those days, and my favorite hipcheck
At the end of your video on you got the brothers name mixed up because it was not Jeff in the Kordic trade.
Lighting in this vid was somewhat better than before.
Flying cavallini bros next please
Yup. Bear.
Fantastic video
Did u ever add Andy Moog or Bill Ranford to your hof?
We can't talk about the Courtnalls without mentioning just how fast Russ was. One of the fastest skaters in NHL history
Did Geoff Courtnall win a Stanley cup with Edmonton in 1988 Shannon
Yep
Courtnall goal in 1994 was Game 5 in OT at the Saddledome. Linden won Game 6
You should consider adding Daniel Briere to your hall of fame!
Geoff Courtnall - Ronning - Bure. Great NHL 94 line. Geoff seemed to have the more memorable career, because he generally played for better teams.
pite9 Geoff was my favorite St. Louis Blue when I first started watching hockey. Dude was gritty AF and had good hands. Loved the way he played.
What I remember about Russ was he couldn't believe that as the team photographer in Minnesota, I was unwilling to provide him with pictures of himself for free. He felt entitled. I didn't. He made more money in a day than I made in a year. If he wanted them bad enough, he could afford to pay for them just like everyone else.
Oooooo Classic THG CAT Action !!!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Russ Courtnall scores a hat trick in his first game with the Canucks
That cat matches your jersey
That cat loves some hockey
Three former Blues.
4 former Blues... Osgood, Tikkanen, Joseph and Ronning.

0:00 refs carrying the Sharks to the Conference Final like
When is Sydor going in?
do the career of sergei zholtok please :P thanks :P
Nooo... don't remind us of the Garth Butche trade... Ron Caron just couldn't stop himself. Now let's do the Cavallini brothers! :-))
That trade ruined the Blues season.
@@TimfromMKE yep!
