The triumphant return of the two most famous Canucks fans was so perfectly timed, it香蕉视频直播檚 like they planned it down to the whistle of a penalty call.

Those bodysuit-wearing Green Men went missing from Rogers Arena eight years ago, after terrorizing opposing players who sat in the penalty box during the Vancouver team香蕉视频直播檚 best years, a decade ago.

Adam 香蕉视频直播淔orce香蕉视频直播 Forsythe, the larger guy in the lighter green, and Ryan 香蕉视频直播淪ully香蕉视频直播 Sullivan are pals who became folk heroes among hockey fans for their sign-waving arena antics, then quietly tucked away those skintight outfits and got on with their lives.

Staff in the Canucks香蕉视频直播 game-presentation department had pitched the idea of the Green Men returning for a game, for the nostalgia trip, and it finally happened Saturday, Feb. 24, during an overtime win over old foes from Boston.

香蕉视频直播淎t the start of the season we saw the Bruins game on the calendar, and that was tempting,香蕉视频直播 Forsythe recalled. 香蕉视频直播淪o we said to them, 香蕉视频直播榃e don香蕉视频直播檛 want to be paid, we香蕉视频直播檝e never been about that, but would you fly Sully out?香蕉视频直播 So they (the Canucks) covered the flight and hotel, and it all fell into place.香蕉视频直播

Sullivan now lives with his young family in Saskatoon, while Forsythe and wife have their own busy lives in Surrey, where he was born and raised.

香蕉视频直播淲hen we started this, we were both single and had lots of time to do whatever we wanted,香蕉视频直播 Forsythe noted. 香蕉视频直播淣ow people are saying, 香蕉视频直播極h, you香蕉视频直播檙e just bandwagoners,香蕉视频直播 because of how good the Canucks are again. No, I go to games a lot, just not in the green suit. I just want to get that out there 香蕉视频直播 I香蕉视频直播檓 a hardcore Canucks fan and don香蕉视频直播檛 miss games.香蕉视频直播

Their Green Men reunion was so hush-hush, they only told family members about it.

香蕉视频直播淲e wanted to come back the right way, in grand fashion like we did, with the lights and the Stone Cold wrestling music,香蕉视频直播 Forsythe beamed. 香蕉视频直播淲e had the Al Murdoch intro, the voice of God (announcing). We weren香蕉视频直播檛 sure it would all work, but then it worked perfectly, with the Bruins taking a penalty just when we were about to enter (the lower bowl of the arena).

香蕉视频直播淚 never get nervous in the green suit, but my mouth went dry, the curtain opened and adrenaline took over,香蕉视频直播 he added. 香蕉视频直播淭he person holding the curtain says, 香蕉视频直播極h, I think the Bruins just took a penalty!香蕉视频直播 You see in the video, I sprinted down the stairs to the penalty box and Sully香蕉视频直播檚 high-fiving people. I can香蕉视频直播檛 really see out of the suit but apparently JVR (Bruins forward James van Riemsdyk) was laughing. It was awesome.香蕉视频直播

Then the waffles started flying.

Wait, waffles?

香蕉视频直播淔ull credit to Sully, our most famous bit was the waffles back before the 2011 run (of the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Final),香蕉视频直播 Forsythe explained. 香蕉视频直播淚 told him it wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 work, but it did, and now it香蕉视频直播檚 the GIF that comes up if you search 香蕉视频直播楪reen Men香蕉视频直播 (on the internet). The Maple Leafs were horrible in that era, and a fan in Toronto threw a waffle on the ice. To this day, nobody knows what that meant 香蕉视频直播 maybe a form of protest because they香蕉视频直播檙e losing.

香蕉视频直播淎nd then a week later we went to the game against the Leafs, and we decided to buy a box of waffles at Costco and throw them, and it went off,香蕉视频直播 Forsythe continued. 香蕉视频直播淲e didn香蕉视频直播檛 really even know what it meant. So then because it was our most famous bit, we had to do it again (during the Bruins game Saturday). We had all our props lined up but then 20 minutes before, we needed waffles and ran across the street to Costco and got them. We香蕉视频直播檙e still waiting for that sponsorship angle, for them to hook us up with waffles.香蕉视频直播

Forsythe met Sullivan at broadcasting school, and the Fleetwood-raised South Surrey resident now works in media relations. On Tuesday nights he can be found hosting Green Man Trivia at Clayton Pub on 188 Street.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 straight-up pencils and paper, always general questions that I come up with,香蕉视频直播 he noted. 香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 do theme nights, and a lot of people show up here every week, which is great.

香蕉视频直播淚t wasn香蕉视频直播檛 my idea to call it Green Man Trivia, and I don香蕉视频直播檛 wear the green suit, no,香蕉视频直播 Forsythe added. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 fun, and the casuals who come in ask about it, and yeah, that香蕉视频直播檚 me, the guy who wears the green outfit to Canucks games.香蕉视频直播

Not surprisingly, that green bodysuit fits a little more snug eight years later.

香蕉视频直播淲e started this when we were 21, and we香蕉视频直播檙e both fairly fit,香蕉视频直播 Forsythe said. 香蕉视频直播淪ully is around five-five, 140 pounds, born with a six-pack. He eats a diet consisting of fast food and doesn香蕉视频直播檛 gain a pound. Meanwhile, I香蕉视频直播檒l have a sip of this water and gain five pounds. It香蕉视频直播檚 just the way it香蕉视频直播檚 always been, so standing next to him, it香蕉视频直播檚 a bad look from the jump.

香蕉视频直播淟ast week I was in Mexico, and the whole time I香蕉视频直播檓 thinking, 香蕉视频直播極K, I want to enjoy myself but I know I have to fit in this freaking suit.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈

Sadly, the Bruins game will probably be a one-off reunion for the Green Men, given their locations and busy lives.

香蕉视频直播淚t was so fun, and totally just a nostalgia thing, yeah,香蕉视频直播 Forsythe said with a smile. 香蕉视频直播淢y wife was a collegiate softball player in the States from, like, 2011 to 2015, and she never really experienced Green Men, so that was also motivation of wanting her to see it live, not just all the videos on the internet.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 funny because we go to parties and meet people and then the host would introduce me, 香蕉视频直播極h, this is one of the Green Men,香蕉视频直播 and I香蕉视频直播檇 have to explain it, and she didn香蕉视频直播檛 really get it. Well, now she gets it.香蕉视频直播
