Hell of a guy, hell of a career
Apr 5th, 2008 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized
Some may hate Vancouver, some definitely hate the Canucks. But you’re wasting your time if you ever tried to hate Trevor Linden, one of those rare athletes whose dedication to a city and a team over the span of his career is unquestionable.
If tonight is his last game, then as JJ and Miss 604 say, try and forget how the season ended and give the man his due. Captain Canuck and Mr. Game Seven is truly the only guy who lived up to that “we are all Canucks” slogan.
(And sensing how our management is on shaky grounds these days, may I suggest putting him in as an assistant or something immediately would be a good start?)
Regardless, here’s to you Trev. And Naslund. And Morrison.
#16 to the rafters awaits.
12:38 ET Update: I’m sorry this team can’t even send you off respectably Trevor. Classy move by the Flames for sticking around at the end, so at least one team was there for ya.

Linden’s enough of a thinker that he would fill a management roll very well, IMO.
Still, isn’t he the type of guy who would lean more towards NHLPA duties?
April 5th, 2008 6:34 pm
He could do a lot for the NHL, but before he goes that route, he should help his home. Hey make him coach…not that I want to see Vigneault leave really, but Trev behind the bench? We could do a lot worse.

In fact, at this point I question Vignault’s ability to switch up the team’s playing style depending on the need. I still think we give him another year to hash it out, but if he can’t change the team’s game some when the going gets tough, they’re bound to collapse year after year!
So Trev 4 Coach it is!!!
April 5th, 2008 7:20 pm
If he wants to save his job…besides getting some offense in there, having Linden in there in some sort of daily respect would go a long way.

Gah. Cujo practically gave him ample opportunities to score tonight and he whiffed. The Garage was going O_O everytime he did and was just waiting to explode. Sucks he missed the shot on most of them.
Though it is probably that it is his last game tonight… he did say he hasn’t thought about that decision yet and now the Canucks fans probably put more pressure on him retiring with that sendoff…
then again, Phoenix did a sort-of-sendoff for Jeremy Roenick last season with the Canucks and he didn’t retire…
April 6th, 2008 5:20 am
Yeah but where is Linden going to play? Vigneault barely used him this year. Considering how this season went and the changes that are coming, where does Linden fit on the roster? No where really…unless you put him behind the bench. hint hint

Well, Linden did say he hasn’t looked at a career as a coach XD since he’s interested in real estate. (Be pretty good biz for him since Canucks fans will probably snap up the condos he builds haha)
April 6th, 2008 9:28 am
Can’t he do both? C’mon, if Garth Snow can be GM, then Trev can do something in management. And build his condos on the side. And be all the more rich (mentally and spiritually).
