@hockeybooks u dont even know what your talking about kid, and o by the way, who just won the stanley cup? that's what i thought

Pitt may have started "terrible towel" but the Canucks started "Towel power" And there is so much meaning behind the Canucks tradition. Won the next 3 games against Chicago to move onto the finals. We got sweeped by the Islanders but it was still a magical run none the less

@ckendall67 This is a tradition that is based on fighting back against injustice not the newest Walmart sale on sports noise makers. The Towel tradition started by Neilson was so moving that many other teams copied it and other sports ...... ask 10 people what they relate the towel-power to, and 10 people will say hockey and the 82 Canucks

Are you retarded??? This isn't "another tradition Chicago started". This is the works of Vancouver. The only thing Chicago did for this is supplied the crappy refs. And the guy who said the Terrible Towel came first is right. I believe that was started 7 years earlier in 1975

At some point during the season there were orange guys in Anaheim. They were up behind one of the nets, not the penalty box but nevertheless a copycat situation.

The Steelers 'Terrible Towels' tradition started in 1975 or '76 I believe; then came the Canucks 'Towel Power' of '82... :-)
Not to mention the Minnesota Twins had the 'Homer Hankies' during the 1987 & '91 World Series.....

the canucks towel power was directly related to a game incident , not just marketing
and i concede the date of the football Steeler's towel
