On Wednesday, city council voted unanimously in favour of renaming a section of Abbott Street alongside Rogers Arena to Pat Quinn Way, in honour of the former Canuck player, coach, general manager and president, who died in November. Incidentally, the street on the other side of Rogers Arena was named Griffiths Way in 1994 in honour of late Canucks owner Frank. A. Griffiths.
We’re all for honouring significant figures in the Canucks organization after their deaths, but we’d like to make a bold suggestion. How about renaming the section of Expo Boulevard behind Rogers Arena and in front of Costco in honour of a living Canuck, past and present. Here are a few of the dozens of proposed names we’ve come with.
• Sergio Momesso’s Treasure Trail.
• Harold Snepsts Moustache Ride (because the road curves like a moustache… get your head out of the gutter).
• Luongo’s Swampy Back Alley.
• Zack Kassian’s Lonely 10-Minute Walk to Costco for His Third Hot Dog of the Day.
• Cloutier’s Folly.
• Boulevard de Garth Butcher.
