The most important game of the season and they make it a pay per view game. A game played in Vancouver, and I'm not allowed to watch the game without forking over money. And in case you weren't following, the Canucks lost, meaning they're officially out of the playoffs.
This feeling of sadness I have is not because the Canucks didn't win Lord Stanley's cup, they have years and years to do that. This loss is on a whole other level of sadness because everyone knows that this is Trevor Linden's last season.
Trevor Linden has given the team everything he could since we drafter him 20 years ago. He is the heart and soul of the team, and he genuinely cares about the city itself. It's sad to know Linden is only a legend in this city, and his legacy will always be tied with that great run to the cup but losing in seven games to the Rangers in '94.
It's also sad to know that unless Nazzy is willing to take the hometown special like (Linden has done for half a decade now) then Saturday might be his last game as a Canuck. Nazzy will also be known outside of Vancouver as an underachieving captain, I don't have anything against Nazzy, but I really can't argue this point.
If Alain Vigneault scratches Linden this Saturday I swear I'll ring his neck myself, but I'd probably have to bust through the rioters first.
It would be great if Linden comes out Saturday wearing the C, what a sight that would be to see Captain Canuck wear the C one last time. I hope Linden joins management, we'll win the cup eventually I just hope Linden is still around to lift the cup when we do.
