08:30 AM ET 11.09 | Well, so much for the feel-good ending. The sensational story [Thursday] about Vancouver Canuck owner Francesco Aquilini flying across the continent to offer Pavel Bure a jersey retirement ceremony was not only news to fans, but news to the National Hockey League team. Aquilini has not commented on the report, which quotes only ex-Canuck Gino Odjick, so no one from the organization is speaking on the record about it. But it's clear people in the Canucks have no knowledge of this plan because, almost certainly, it does not exist. ... Bure, who held out on the Canucks in 1998 to finally force a trade he had been demanding for five years, made it clear he had no interest in returning to Vancouver for an honour at Rogers Arena.

"Bure made it clear he had no interest in returning to Vancouver for an honour at Rogers Arena."

Somebody with some stones.
Who would want to be included in that star studded roster they have hanging there already? Two hard working hacksaw guys and a soft guy best remembered for skating with his head down?
