The Ultimate Markus Naslund Tribute Video

[smithmark2233]

It's sad that there only doing something about head shots now.

[smithmark2233]

Best wrist shot in the game during his heyday. Great at picking the corners

[atvbikes]

whats the song called



[SpencerDrew07]

@atvbikes The Scientist - By Coldplay

[MrChaoticJoker]

naslund the greatest canuck that ever lived

[thirdbreath]

nazzy always has a spot in my heart. my favorite player since i was 6. i just wish he coulda won a cup :'(

[AkshayDhingra90]

naslund has a legit chance at the hall of fame, probably wont make it but he has 3 first all star team selections and has been a consistent goal scorer for the majority of his career, a lindsay award( pearson) hart nomination , 5 all star games , 3 time viking award winner(nhls best swedish player), sven tumbas award ( tv-pucken best player)

[epicfail86]

What sets him above the other snipers like Ovechkin is that Nazzy is super humble, you can tell when he scores. He'll celebrate goals and games that really matter, but when it's just an average snipe in an average game, he won't be an a** and rub it in the opposition's face, even though he has a right to.

That's why he gets so much respect.

[JRCrowley]

Naslund is simply amazing.

[TheMrDclaws]

My name is Anton Näslund :D

[RichardBaartman]

Go Canucks Go!

[iHateMuffinBottoms]

naslunds shot from the top of the right circle is second to none



[MrChaoticJoker]

Greatest Canuck ever lived

[ohnejNEJ]

im fucking proud of being a swede...sweden is and will forever be the greatest hockey nation

[IRikeFriedRice]

@ohnejNEJ swede's don't hit canada is and will always be the best cause we've got fighters and scorers Canada over Sweden anyday

[ohnejNEJ]

@IRikeFriedRice nice english... didnt understand a thing

[IRikeFriedRice]

@ohnejNEJ ummmmm are u retarted? i didn't spell 1 word wrong

[epicfail86]

@IRikeFriedRice

English isn't just about spelling dude... Though you shouldn't put the apostrophe in ''swede's'', it should be "swedes".

Also, since you had zero punctuation, the comment became difficult to decipher. So yeah, the other guy said it right, "nice english".

[IRikeFriedRice]

@epicfail86 seriously? does it really matter? i posted that a month ago

[epicfail86]

@IRikeFriedRice

I'm just saying. Didn't mean to troll or anything mate

[JRCrowley]

@ohnejNEJ LOL no. Canada is. but nice try  ;)

[ohnejNEJ]

@JRCrowley well, thats ur opinion:) no need to argue on internet, its useless:q

[JRCrowley]

@ohnejNEJ Hello, sir. We shall settle it on the ice  :)

[puio7]

One of the best shots in the game.

[C6709]

the video is cool a really good player but i hate this song

[Naslund19SCORES]

it was amazing to see his jersey go up

[mavenfrankeus]

I can not believe that Markus has not objected to having his jersey misspelled for 20 years... His name is Näslund, not Naslund... Also thought the Canucks would have adjusted this...

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@mavenfrankeus dude stop fucking trolling every markus naslund video

[lubomirshengie]

"NEXT YEAR GILLIS WILL RETIRE NASLUND'S NUMBER. QUOTE ME" -kidjenius

[lubomirshengie]

awesome video wish it was better quality tho

[NationalPro]

better than gretzky

[vcanucks22]

@NationalPro lol

[mokyboy11]

This kind of player should be immortals and never retire, lol, it just sucks that time pass so fast and we just recognize how important they are just after they retire....fuck time

[dede888]

lol, what has he has done nothing no stanley cup.To be honest he retired so earley.He could not even play in the new NHL as everyone was skating by him.Sorry there was no passion from him at all.look at players like rod brindmour , francis.Chelios , Steve Y .These guys are true heart and soul players and live to play the game and have won stanley cups.Sorry but to me he was not so great.Ya in 2002-03 he was good but , he had bertuzzi and morrision to help him,after that he was nothing.

[duffy31311]

@dede888

yeah, didnt help that steve moore ended his career. cheap shot artist.

[JBizzDroid]

Truly the most amazing player to ever wear a Canucks Jersey you are my favourite player ever you deserve to have your number retired

[19davve]

[NanaimoCanuck]

Sniper Nazzy, watching you play for the nucks got me hooked. I cant wait to see your number go up to the rafters. It will be a day to remember, Well deserved buddy, Forever a Canuck!!!

[000Naslund]

the worst thing vancouver everd did was not signing Naslund ......

[250integra]

Can't wait until December 11th.. Well deserved Naslund and Congrats

[TheRipperRypien]

I never understood Markus, he's flying left and he rips a shot far right. IT'S GEOMETRIC NONSENSE!

[nouswalkons]

that wrist shot from the top of the faceoff circle on the powerplay... lethal.

[Rey123Duncan]

WEST COAST EXPRESS I MISS YOU D: Naslund got injured and shit after they split and he couldnt play anymore..i feel bad for him..sort of reminds me of cloutier who also retired early because of injuries...too bad D:

[Br3nd3n14]

AWSOME i miss the old canucks with naslund and othersss like morrison to bad the canucks didnt sign him

[RossignolProductions]

nazzy gives me goosebumps

[jarw28]

5 people got run over by the west coast express!

[021Sweden]

its been forever since näslund played for the swedish national team or represented sweden in a tournament, i would much rather have him in the team than peter forsberg

[LoewenRanger]

I remember most of these goals!

[000Naslund]

the best captain to ever play for the canucks

[164djenkins]

one of the best canucks, this video brought back soo many memories and a great reminder how good he was

[141lh]

good reminder of how good he was

[epicfail86]

his wrist shot defies belief

[OoTH3BeastoO]

one of the best the canucks ever had

[dawsonisking101]

that is why naslund is my favourite playerr forever always will be great video

[puckSHOCK]

Shame he wasn't able to win a Cup, but don't worry, we'll win one for ya Marky

[Naslund19SCORES]

[Br3nd3n14]

[abigfool100]

1:06 is such a sweet goal

[canuckaholic91]

HOLY crap 1:17-1:25

it's like a replay LOL

[psidhu4]

greatest Canuck of all time.

[Sinco1967]

He is a great player. He never won an art ross but he came 2nd in league scoring 2 years in a row. Best player in the league when he was in his prime.

[jasongill44]

in the absolute most brilliant words i can think of at this moment markus naslund was simply a class act and a hero for canucks fans everywhere

[kevx14]

they really should have sign nasland for one last year before he retired

[Camilo2002xxx]

What a beautiful tribute to the great Markus Naslund; not only a wonderful player but a great person and friend. A real role model for nowadays players. Bravo Markus!

[TheImamo93]

Naslund, Lidstrom, Forsberg and Sundin, Legendary!! Swe

[FireBatHeroSK]

Hi's number will be retires for the Canucks~ NICE!! (info from Hodgson wearing 38)

[kasan34]

He will be greaty missed by His FAN he was my number one player in nhl and when he retired....

well lets just say i was really sad and now for the memory of him i wear number 19 shirt in hokey (triple AAA BANTAM)

[billniggerish]

I'm an Avs fan and I miss Naslund.

[SukhKular]

@billniggerish Respect.

[Phillydippableful]

I mean 0:42

[Phillydippableful]

0:48 Thats what you can do when you're a Swede!

[rbsurrey]

pure sniper, his numbers gonna get retired with canucks,he deserves it

[FernandezZz23]

Too bad it can't he retired with the Rangers... he would have to come out of retirement and play for the Nucks again for another year.

[kingkongmr1]

Markus naslund is the best player in the NHL.

In that video I like when Markus naslund gets

trips and scores on the Anaheim ducks.

It was a awesome goal he scores on them.

PS:I hope you come out with more videos on him.

[tobbenaesman]

He playes in Modo now with Forsberg!<3

[superstaralen]

great video man, miss nazzy :( best of luck in life to him. He was a great man, gave the best years of his life to Vancouver, and canucks fans will always be thankful for that.

PS:I hope they retire #19 for nazzy

[MADE1NVIETNAM]

the song complements this video. my eyes were watery.

[ImKoolWithThis]

naw listen to remeber the name by fort minor this this vid its the shit

[wickenoftheklicken]

mats sundin and markus näslund are my fav players all the time :o

[jasongill44]

only a few players in the game have that factor of exlosiveness the thing that makes the opposing team afriad when ever the touch the puck knowing they could make something out of nothing , Cheers to markus naslund one of the few n grat player who had this//// FOREVER A CANUCK since 93 and ever since PS MAY WE NEVER FORGET THE WEST COAST EXPRESS

[AAAhockey95]

Naslund was one of those players who had the drive and skill that only great players have unfortunately he went through some rough times and started to loose that drive. Great vid great player great skill not the best luck

[canuckman87]

:(:(

Loved Nazzy in his prime.

[tramnumberseven]

Ok, Mattias is not in the same category at all.. But still :D

[tramnumberseven]

The NHL is not the same without Forsberg, Näslund and Sundin .. and don't forget Mattias Norström.. :)

[Teolo11]

Det bästa skottet..

[FrolundaIndianen]

@Teolo11

med en träklubba..

/with a woddstick..

[shubufubu]

Forgive me for getting a little misty-eyed watching this vid.

[JooFrankie]

he play so simple...

[UsainBolt747]

Too bad he left ):

[kidjenius]

forever a canuck

NEXT YEAR GILLIS WILL RETIRE NASLUND'S NUMBER. QUOTE ME

[alaincanucks]

Well I could also just quote Gillis, who said it himself.

[kidjenius]

true that ;)

[brendo666]

@kidjenius called it buddy

[9nitsudustin9]

@kidjenius You were right.

Naslunds number is being retired. He deserves it.

[Br3nd3n14]

@kidjenius its gonna happen december 11 woooooooo

[theicnerd1]

@kidjenius and he did december 11th 2010 markus naslund night at the rogers arena

GO NAZZY GO

[severon1976]

@kidjenius Cool prediction, now please tell me who's gonna be our CAPTAIN ?? Im dying to know, I predicted Henrik after he won the ART ROSS, what do you think ??

[kidjenius]

@severon1976 hank sedin. it's just a matter of time now, less then one week i hope

[madundy]

@kidjenius its official they are retiring it now

[psidhu4]

@kidjenius you were right!!!

[Emohd7]

@kidjenius todays his retirement!!

[GregGumbel]

It's a shame that piece of trash Steve Moore screwed up Markus' wrist shot with a dirty hit.

[macke19924]

Näslund and Forsberg is comming back to modo (: WIHOOO!

[NTeC2]

and its going to be awesome

[biffenhundra]

His back with forsberg in Modo! fan va underbart;) själv så bor man ju i övik

[RsRakno]

one of the NHL's best wrist shots

4ever a canuck

[CloudSSM]

I loved Naslund. My favourite Canuck from the WCE era.

Is it just me, or does Micheal Grabner not remind everyone of Naslund in his prime?

Blazing speed, strong shot and they can dangle.

Here's to Micheal Grabner being the next Naslund! #19 forever

[kidjenius]

i agree

the first time i saw grabner i was thought he was markus. they even look similar :P

to grabner being the next 19!

[mattieboi4]

My favorite player to this day. He was awesome with Van, I will never forget that end to end against Ottawa. #19 Forever a Canuck!

[hockeyleadstheworld]

He's missing me :(

[playa871]

Best Canuck.

Best Times

He should have stayed 1 more season, it would have been better but sadder for everyone and his # would have been 100% surely retired

[hobbyboxco]

gillis was on the local radio today and said they are going to honour him next year. which means retiring his number.

[wertytrewqa]

naslunds gotta have one of the best career highlight vids of all time, the only thing missing is a cup

[kidjenius]

I will forever see Naslund as one of the greatest players that played for the Canucks. #19.4.LIFE.

[7jl49]

Naslund is one of the best Canucks ever. He deserves to have his jersey retired, anything less is an insult. It's embarrasing that he got such a cold send off from Vancouver, especially by the fans

[franklinsnare29]

naslunds been a part of my life since i was 4 :(

[Jord4n09]

i remember so many of these. What a wrist shot. His rivarly with forsberg. To me, the moore hit was the beginning of the end and we all know what bertuzzi did after that. He was really never the same. when he overskated the puck in the shootout, it showed me he needed to move on.

[fBL0ND]

the sweds are good at many things and why does we think they so such bad?

cmon, just look at him and the rest sweds in NHL!?

they are great and some of them greater than us

[Kerec]

ok so we have some real swedish greats.. Forsberg,Naslund,Sundin,Alfred­sson,Lidstrom

All these players contributing soo much and leadership..Forsberg WAS the Avs,Sundin WAS the leafs.. then we have these 3 left that i dare to say ARE the canucks,sens and wings..

What will happen when these players retire?..

seriously.. its so sad really..

A big thanks for taking care of one of the greatest national treasures of Sweden,Vancouver

[mandolinroad]

What about Hedman? Omark? Bäckström?

[Kerec]

i dunno... maybe?.. but im quite sceptical, theyre all brilliant but still..

[mandolinroad]

Sure, no worries. Remember, Markus wasn't a star for his first few seasons. He actually had a pretty rough time when he started out in Pittsburgh. I know him personally, he told me himself. There'll be lots more like him, the early 90's kids are just as good as the '73's.

[Kerec]

you made a really valid point there.

[Homophobia]

Pretty sure, Sakic was the AV's that's why they retired his no. 19 not Forsbergs 21.

[PokemonTraderTCG]

i miss nazzy my childhood hero :'( this almost brought a tear to my eye

[shubufubu]

Possessed one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, wrist shots the Canucks have had throughout the years.

[doubleplay1919]

markus youre the man,any canuck fan who tries to scum him can fuck right off...cool video too,his number will be retired for sure,maybe even hall of fame!!

[hockeyguy5]

I hope the Canucks retire Naslund's #19 jersey. He was the best Canuck ever.

[bgav13]

agreed!

[drogbadronaldo]

One of the best THE KING

[jattrulesathockey]

wat a goal at 1 :10

[Soccer559]

It is really unfortunate, we had the best team and players and Him and Bert were the 2 top scores in the league but we had nothing for goaltending, wish we could have got at least one cup with them, his jersey sould be retired! GO CANUCKS GO!

[GalwayCanuck5]

Can't believe he's gone :-( Greatest Canuck ever in my opinion.

[jerseeboi69]

i'm not a canucks fan but i think that naslund was the best vancouver player since bure and i think he is under rated but people put a lot of pressure on him since he went to new york and if people didnt put any pressure on him to perform he would put the numbers that he is capable of putting up

[spink07]

ill always remember that coast to coast goal against ottawa and watching the first goal brought back good memories

[ultramany121]

w8 why did he retire again?

[WILSONO9]

He felt that he couldn't live up to his own expectations, and would rather retire a year too early (5 years too early imo) then a year too late.

[eggsandbacon202]

Imagine, Line #1 Naslund, Kesler, Hodgson. Now That Would Have Been Unstopabble!!!!

[jasongill44]

Time caught up with him he was a late bloomer...but when he was goood there are only a few who were better .Thank u naslund for picking up a canucks team on its downfall we owe u alot forever loved #19 Markus Naslund

[123Khangura]

naslund was a great player still is. he just did not have the passoin to play anymore. so he retired but if i was him i would have demanded a trade.

[moradian71]

best video ever

[CaptTapSumBong]

Man all those wrist shots were so sexy.Pinpoint accuracy.

Farewell Nazzy. Thanks for rejuvenating the franchise.

12 16 19 Make it happen

[NationalPro]

RIP Naslund's career

[matri6]

naslund..... true canuck

[artie1959]

Thanks for memories Nazzie

you brought excitement back to Hockey in Vancouver

[luckysam12345]

naslund was great. sad to think we won't see him playing anymore.

[rockare4]

whats the name of the song

[Kwaczek]

Coldplay - Scientist

[Naslund19SCORES]

dam he is gone we better retire 19. I will miss him not being on the ice no more

[sagsfans]

goodbye Naslund you are a great players

[nicknac823]

goodbye naslund thanks for playing with the rangers you were a great player and helped us so much...you had a great career peace my hero...

[vandelay10]

Such a class act

[gdavies4]

did he win ne stanleys

[BillyWagner13]

Even though he was a Ranger for one season, Markus will always be one of my favorites.

[backlip19]

he was a true Canuck! we'll always love him in Vancouver!

[backlip19]

he just retired.. thats the word anyway. he hasnt personally said anything yet, but apparently he told glen sather he was retiring. we better retire 19 here in Vancouver

[gdavies4]

yeah its official...

wat a career...

[sushiixx]

hes retiring :'(

[theKANIN123]

what a sniper he is

[scheel27]

what is the name of the song? and by the way naslund is the king of Vancouver

[IvanTofak]

Coldplay - The Scientist

I think...

[OMGizAndy]

wow Naslund is fucking amazing too bad hes not with the canucks anymore

[logey23]

love you Nazzy..

[Danoflakes]

1:17 holyyy shit

[lordbobo3245]

Great job on the video!

[Goyel04]

fuck, what a shot...one of the greatest canucks!

[albapassion]

Mad respect for Nazzy....

Forever a Canuck.

[BmountainSon]

NAZZZYY! nothing but love nazzy, big ups to you for bringing vancity some exciting hockey.

[backlip19]

i think that if that steve moore thing never happened then the team would still have naslund and bertuzzi... i miss naslund.. but i think everyone has to agree that in his last season here, he wasnt playing with any heart.

[swassking]

he played with no heart because he went unappreciated in his last season. I still think they should have kept him, long live nazzy

[backlip19]

yeah i agree that we didnt appreciate him.. but he clearly had no interest in re-signing in Vancouver.

[mirzayanov]

He would deffinetly be a better coach than a player, he's smart but doens't have much grit in his game

[HockeyPrincess58x]

this is simply amazing

the song in the first place makes me cry a little

perfect combo! <3

[sanderdude1944]

favourite canuck ever.......then that fateful moment happened when moore hit him, and from there he has never been the same...its to bad

[youngstunna69]

NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR NASLAND!!

[GundamZed]

go naslund go!

[canuckman87]

sad song...sad that nazzy declined because he was awesome 5 years ago. :(

[NaslundFurever]

I LOVE NASLUND =D
