Yeah....lived in Van in the early-mid 70's when i was a wee lad.
Canucks were an achingly bad expansion team but Robson kept them relevant and exciting with his pbp.
Very few games were televised, so CKNW was a must listen for a young hockey crazy kid, and Robson painted a picture as well as anyone who ever spoke into a microphone calling a game.
RIP Mr. Robson.....and thank you.
