JUST SHOWING MY LINDEN SUPPORT HERE. FLABBERGASTED IS IN MINE TOO.l

[Pennywise]

I think I'm gonna wear my Linden jersey tonight.

[rawb]

IM GOING TO SLEEP IN MY 94 FINALS JERSEY TONIGHT l

[Grapes]

Speaking as someone who remembers crying like a little girl (in my defense, I was a little boy) when the puck went in off Joel Otto's skate (dirty fuck) in 89, and speaking as someone who watched Linden carry the team on his back (along with Bure's flash and McLean's brilliance) in 94, this is an event not to be missed.

Everyone be aware that Trevor's ceremony starts at SIX PM, so tune into ch 22 around then.

I'm disappointed you're not coming out tonight, I was going to suggest sneaking out of Veni's for a bit to watch some of the game.

SOME OF MY BEST MEMORIES ARE THOSE OLD CAMPBELL CONF RIVAL GAMES AGAINST CALGARY AND WINNIPEG

I MEAN WATCHING THE CANUCKS IN THE LATE 80S AND EARLY 90S WAS A LOT LIKE WATCHING THE CANUCKS OF TODAY. A HARDWORKING LUNCHPAIL GANG WITH MAYBE ONE OR TWO 30+ GOAL SCORERS AND GREAT CHEMISTRY.

THEN BURE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.

[rawb]

GREAT VIDEO WITH LINDEN TYING IT UP AGAINST THE LEAFS, I HAD TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT EPIC MCLEAN POKE CHECK HOLY SHIT NOSTALGIABOMB

[cubed]

I remember that poke check, probably one of the greatest McLean moments ever, right up there with that kick save against the Flames in 94.

[rawb]

3RD PERIOD LOWLIGHTS (6-1 lol) AND END OF GAME FOR LINDENS LAST TIME SUITING UP IN THE NHL

[rawb]

BTW ^^ IS THE REASON I CANT HATE ON THE FLAMES EVER AGAIN, NO MATTER HOW MANY SHOWDOWNS WE HAVE HAD. IGINLA + THE TEAM WERE CLASSY SPORTSMEN AT THE END OF THE GAME AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED l

I was at that game, it gives me shivers watching that video and to think about how loud the crowd was everytime Linden was on the ice.

1) PROBABLY THE GREATEST CANUCK EVER TO WEAR THE JERSEY, BASED ON WHAT HE DID IN HIS CAREER WITH THE TEAM
2) PROBABLY THE MOST NICE AND HUMBLE GUY TO PLAY FOR THE CANUCKS
3) ONE OF VANCOUVER'S GREATEST PHILANTHROPISTS, DONATED COUNTLESS HOURS TO CHARITY (ESP CANUCK PLACE/CHILDRENS HOSTPITAL) AND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF BIGGEST COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTORS IN THE GAME OF HOCKEY.

GREAT PLAYER, TEAM LEADER FOR OVER 16 SEASONS WITH VANCOUVER, ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY, USED HIS FAME FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE. EVEN IF HE WASN'T A FAMOUS HOCKEY PLAYER HE IS AN AMAZING PERSON.

Now this all makes more sense.
