It was the first of two goals in the game as he scored another one against backup goaltender Daniel Berthiaume at of the third period, assisted by Cliff Ronning and Sergio Momesso. Bure went on to score 34 goals and 60 points in 65 games en route to a Calder Trophy. He also had seven power play goals and three shorthanded goals.
As of this writing, Bure still holds the franchise rookie record for goals scored in a season with He grabbed that milestone on Mar. With the goal, he passed Trevor Linden who ended up only holding the record for one season. Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson threatened Bure in the modern era when they scored 29 and 28 respectively, but no one has been able to touch him in almost 30 years now.
He did hold the points record for a while, but Pettersson took that away when he posted 66 points during his rookie season in In a interview, Bure admitted having sustained a head injury on the initial hit against Calgary and that "he should not have played through it". In the off-season, the Canucks made another significant move, signing Rangers' captain Mark Messier during free agency on July 26, The Canucks opened the season with two games against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in Tokyo an event organized by the league to market hockey for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.
After two injury-plagued seasons with the number 96 on his jersey, Bure switched back to his familiar number 10, explaining: "I'm not superstitious, but the last two seasons have been bad memories. Although the Canucks missed the playoffs for the second straight year, he returned to his previous form in —98, scoring 51 goals for his first goal season since —94, and third overall. Pavel later recalled that with the Canucks out of playoff contention with a handful of games left, head coach Mike Keenan told him he could play as much as he wanted to reach the milestone.
Scoring 50 goals was also implicit in a contract bonus for Bure. He then went public with the declaration, stating he intended to leave the club for "personal reasons". Pavel did not report to the club the following season. Instead, he returned to his hometown Moscow to practise with his former Central Red Army club. After the trade was completed, he explained that he felt alienated from Canucks' management after arriving in North America having defected from Russia.
He claimed he had been in Los Angeles for two weeks before any Canucks' representative came to see him, as well as several bitter contract negotiations—particularly those of Pavel also claimed that someone within the Canucks' management planted the constant allegations that he threatened not to play during the playoff run.
Bure's agent at the time, Ron Salcer, also believed the story. Meeting the Panthers in New York for a game against the Islanders, Pavel debuted with his new club on January 20, In his first six games with the club, he scored eight goals and three assists for eleven points. Less than a month into his Panthers debut, he reinjured his knee, keeping him out for three weeks. Another injury ended Bure's season after just 11 games with Florida, though he scored 13 goals and three assists in that time.
In his first full season as a Panther, Pavel led the league in goal-scoring to capture his first of two consecutive Rocket Richard Trophies with a goal season. It marked the second time Bure led the league in goal scoring, but his first Rocket Richard Trophy as the award had been introduced the previous season.
His 58 goals and 94 points both set franchise records. He helped Florida to a fifth-place finish in the Eastern Conference to earn their first post-season berth in three seasons, though they were swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champions, the New Jersey Devils. Pavel was set to make his much-anticipated return to Vancouver to play the Canucks on November 5, , but was kept out of the lineup due to a broken finger.
A prior groin injury had also forced him out of a Panther's home game against the Canucks earlier in the season. Of his three goals, two were assisted by his brother Valeri who played on the same line with him along with his Panthers linemate, Viktor Kozlov. Pavel repeated as league scoring champion in —01 with 59 goals, reaching the goal plateau for the fifth and final time in his career, as well as bettering his franchise single-season, goal-scoring record; however, the Panthers missed the playoffs, finishing 12th place in the East.
He set a league record that season by scoring Before the —02 season, the Panthers acquired Valeri Bure from the Calgary Flames in a trade, putting the brothers on the same team for the first time; however, Pavel suffered a setback in the pre-season re-injuring his groin. He recalled having "good relations" with Panthers' management who often consulted with him on team matters, including the acquisition of his brother.
At the trading deadline, he was dealt to the Florida Panthers. During his 56 games for the Panthers that season, he led the team in scoring for the third consecutive season with 49 points. The Rangers had shown interest in Pavel when he requested a trade from the Canucks in After losing their initial bid for him, Wayne Gretzky who retired the same season Pavel was dealt to Florida announced prior to the — season he would have extended his career had the Rangers been able to pull off the trade.
Pavel made his Rangers debut against the Vancouver Canucks the day after his trade on March 19, scoring a goal against his former team. He scored 12 goals and 20 points in 12 games after being traded, bettering his pace with Florida that season.
Between the two teams, he finished the season with 34 goals and 69 points. He suffered another knee injury in the —03 pre-season; combined with a case of strep throat, he missed the first three games of the regular season. After returning to play, he had 14 goals and 21 points in his first 27 games, including two goals and an assist in his first game back before a knee-on-knee collision in December forced him back out. After undergoing surgery 10 days later, it was revealed that there was no damage to the ACL as previously feared, but instead a tear to the meniscus in Pavel's left knee, which was repaired.
He returned that season to appear in 39 games, managing 19 goals and 30 points. Even after two operations, Pavel didn't play in —04 due to the lingering effects of the knee injury. He failed a pre-season physical and was declared medically unable to play. Pavel remained inactive for another season due to the —05 NHL lockout. After the NHL resumed play for the —06 season, he announced his retirement from professional hockey at a press conference in Moscow on November 1, , citing complications with his chronic knee injuries.
In an interview, he explained that he did not want to extend his playing career without being able to play at an elite level. Because he had been inactive since the —03 season, Pavel was eligible for selection into the Hockey Hall of Fame which requires players to wait three years after their last game immediately following his retirement. After being passed for induction in his first six years of eligibility, Pavel was voted in on June 27, , alongside Joe Sakic , Adam Oates and Mats Sundin.
He became the fifth Soviet or Russian player after Vladislav Tretiak , Viacheslav Fetisov , Valeri Kharlamov and Igor Larionov and the first player to spend the majority of his career with the Canucks to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Pavel's non-selection in previous years was widely debated in the media. He was often compared with Cam Neely , a player who also waited six years for induction; he recorded similar goals-per-game numbers in a career that was also shortened to plus games.
It had been often rumoured that Pat Quinn, Pavel's former head coach and general manager in Vancouver who became co-chairman of the Hockey Hall of Fame's selection committee opposed his induction; however, in a conference call following his selection, Quinn was among the most prominent figures he thanked. Quinn criticized the Canucks organization for not yet retiring Pavel's jersey.
In his retirement, Pavel remained publicly steadfast in his dissatisfaction with the way he was treated by the Canucks organization during his playing career. While he admitted to "a lot of disagreements with the Canucks management," he maintained that he "never had any problems with the Canucks fans. On November 2, , the Canucks retired his 10 jersey.

He was also the first Canuck to hit the 50 goal mark, and led the team to the Stanley Cup Final. On the personal side, Bure married American fashion model Jayme Bohn, although the marriage was short. Bure eventually ended up marrying his longtime girlfriend Alina Khasanova after he retired, together they have had two children; Pavel Jr.
While both children are still young, it is too young to consider them prospects, although Pavel Jr has recently begun to play hockey, so maybe one day.
However, it is a long way off from the possibility of seeing another Bure in a Canucks jersey. After his retirement, Pavel Sr. That is until he returned to Vancouver in to have his number retired by the Canucks. Although the honour was special, it was not the first recognition he received in North America. When he had his number 10 raised to the rafters of Rogers Arena, he became the third Canuck of that era to have his number retired.
With that ceremony, it likely spelled the end of that era of Canucks hockey being formally honoured in Vancouver. There was a contract holdout and an abundance of disagreement with upper management. After leaving the organization, he has remained very vocal about his displeasure with the way he was treated in Vancouver. Upon returning to Russia, Bure took a few years away from the game; as he just enjoyed retirement and took a break from the busy everyday life of a professional hockey player.

His Panther career was cut to games however, as he would finally be traded to the New York Rangers days before the trade deadline.
