Emergency at Ground Zero

If you can get down to the Theory of a Deadman show, you can roll the bass player for his.

Coquitlam Centre. LOL. Live by there, tried that. Unless you're a Canucks fan, your selection sucks.

I second (or third, or whatever) Vancity Sports. Easier to get to by skytrain (not Canada Line, but the other one - Millennium or Expo), get off at Granville and follow the signs to Pacific Centre or Granville St. and you'll see it across from the Bay. I had to order a youth from them but they had lots of men's Iggys when I picked it up.

The store in GM - err, Canada Hockey Place (closest is Stadium station) is a good suggestion if you're willing to use your Visa.

I haven't seen any pre-customized jerseys at the Bay (including Oakridge and I work there) but I haven't looked since the Olympics started.

Sport Chek....uhhh I haven't seen any Iggy jerseys in these but worth a try.

Most of Vancouver pretty much just stocks Luongo and Crosby save for a few stores. You might have better luck closer to downtown where all the action is.

Another suggestion: try Nike stores! They make the damn things after all. (Oakridge. Metrotown, Robson and probably a lot more). They have jerseys, some pre-customized but since I don't go in there often, not sure if they have Iginla ones. (They really ought so since he's in pretty much all their ads...)

Oh you do not want to go to that McDonalds...

As for the Bay, may have been mentioned but the Pacific Centre (ie next to Granville Station) is the only one that has the sports shop inside.

You guys are all awesome. I didn't get one tonight as I got quite lost and then had to get my ass to the curling rink. For some reason I just can't get my bearings in Vancouver. Never had this much trouble before in a new city.

Tomorrow morning I'm heading downtown to try a few different suggestions until I find one. If you see a guy with a mohawk looking lost and wearing an iggy jersey, come say hello!

Same goes to anyone at the hockey games Sunday. I'll be at all three and would love to buy a fellow Cper a beer, especially one who helped me find a jersey.

Are you sticking to your rental car? If you're going to Vancity Sports try googling driving directions to Pacific Centre. I'm sure you can still park there..somehow.

Good luck, I hope you find one. This city needs less Luongo and Crosby jerseys and more Iggy ones.

I live downtown (about 4 blocks from this store) and can assure you there have not been any major traffic issues down here since the Olympics started. Parking is a bit more of a challenge, but you should be fine if you're willing to walk a few blocks (I'd recommend looking on Richards Street which is 2 blocks east of Granville).

Plus the store is only a couple blocks from where all the action at Robson Square, so you should definitely consider a trip downtown.

Second every part of this.
I walked buy that store a few days ago and they seemed to have quite a few jerseys. Plus it gets you right into the action which you should see anyway, and Richards St. has definitely been my choice of streets for parking.
Jersey City has Iginla T-shirts if all else fails.

Went in to Granville Sports Corner this afternoon and they had no Iginla's. They have some arriving tomorrow evening, after the game.

So, I try to find Vancity but the lineup down in to the subway station is well over 20 mins long. I walk into the Bay and just keep heading down until I find a SportsCheck nestled away in a corner who knows how far below the surface. They had one Iggy jersey left. A mannequin in the back was wearing it. I paid the exorbitant fee and left with a smile on my face.

Thanks CP for putting me in the area where this little miracle happened.

Today is the second day I've spent wandering the streets downtown, soaking it all in, and I have to say it really has been the experience of a lifetime. Just every kind of person in every direction and all of them here to celebrate. It's incredible to be a part of the spontaneous cheers that erupt every few minutes. It's inspiring to hear the stories of the thousands people from other countries with their faces painted, flags waiving proudly.

Thank you Vancouver, for the best time I could have ever imagined.

Oh, and GO CANADA!

I wonder why they have so many Luongo jerseys?

[Gallick]

Glad to hear you got your jersey! I'll keep an eye out for you. Look for the guy in the Doughty jersey... I'm the only one I've seen so far!

There are so many Crosbys and Luongos around. They outnumber the other jerseys by at least ten to one. I've seen a handful of Iginlas, some Toews, Nash, Brodeur. Saw a Niedermayer and a Getzlaf, and one Heatley. Haven't seen anybody else other than that. Except me and my Doughty.
