this why hockey players are a cut above all pro athletes. there not savages like nfl nba and even some mlb players. who dnt give a shit if they win or lose and just want that 10 sec clip on sportscenter. u never here of hockey players getting caught with guns drugs. i think pretty easy to figure out why. answer is obvious but ill b politically correct and wont say real reason.lol
Gah, the 07/08 NHL season was a TOUGH year to be a Canucks fan. Season was a write-off, and we had to say goodbye to the greatest Vancouver Canuck in team history. Trevor Linden... What a beauty! Oh, and Iggy ain't bad either. We need more players like these guys in our game, today.
I would love for Iggy to finish in Calgary, if not for moments like this. Linden is probably the classiest player to lace em' up in Vancouver or anywhere. I wonder if they can get him in the Hall as a builder?
Give me all the Ovechkins and all the Crosbys you want and I will still say that Jarome Iginla is the very best player that hockey has to offer. The greatest amount of talent without the douchiness that Crosby and Ovechkin exude.
Oh and I hate Vancouver but Linden was awesome too.
Iggy did a very awesome thing there. That was the second class act we saw in the game. The first was H. Sedin running a pick on his own d-man(RIP #28) to let Iggy be alone for the 50th goal. Well done on both sides.
Trevor Linden... The Doug Gilmour of the Canucks! Just pure heart, a great leader and role model, and a true hero for the city of Vancouver. A rare and special breed of hockey player.
Without a doubt most sportsmanlike moment in Hockey history between two bitter Canadian rival teams. Good on the fans and good on Iginla for all being supportive. Great to see.
R.I.P Bourdon. Would've been an amazing hockey player.
BTW I cried while watching this video. I grew up when he was captain and Bure and Courtnall was his right and left hand men. There will never be a truer Canuck.
Linden is and always will be the heart of the Vancouver Canucks. Should Vancouver win the cup this year, he deserves to hoist it with his former teammates.
I watched this game. Growing up, I've always been a Flames fan, but Canucks have been a favourite too, since I used to watch their games with my Grandma. This game really made me respect the Canucks and their fans even more. When Iggy scored his 50th, I had to double check and see if Sandford (sp?) made the save! Thanks Canucks fans for cheering Iggy. Thanks to Linden for being a great hockey ambassador. And huge thanks to Luo for helping get Canada another Gold medal! LUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Dear NHL, Stop shoving Crosby and OVechkin down our throats everyday. I knwo you think they are hot shit but I find them both completely contemptible. Jarome Iginla has more class in his index finger than those two put together.
I'm a Rangers fan and everyone talks about how Messier delivered the cup to New York (which he did) but Linden carried that Canucks team in 1994 to the finals, and came up huge in Game 7 with 2 goals. Also he seems like one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, so my hats off to you Trevor.
I watched this game with some friends that nights. It was neat to look around the room, and see you weren't the only one that had tears in their eyes.
And it was the night that everyone in the room saw the class that is Jerome Iginla. I don't care if he plays for Calgary, He IS the best all around in the league.
I was 18 and I cried like a little girl when this haapened. I felt bad for Naslund who just let it be lindenms night even tho he didnt return. Now watching this and seeing bourdon was very sad too.
I remember hearing a preseason game on the radio, back in '92 or '93, where the Canucks were playing Canada's WJC Team and Trevor had cut a guy pretty bad with a high stick and he came back and apologized to the guy. That's Trevor. Winners never cheat.
Nice sendoff Vancouver from a Stars fan. Trevor is a great guy as is Modano who also had an emotional farewell in Dallas last night. The NHL is gonna miss these two great players.
Being the best American born player doesn't make him any better. Jannik Hansen is the best Danish born player. Does that make him better than Lindros, Naslund or Forsberg for example? Of course not.
As a Flames fan I have to give credit to Trevor Linden. He was a class player. Actually felt sorry for him and the Nucks when they lost the -94 finals to the Rangers.
i honestly wish we could see more class like this now! our league would be incredable if we had passion and repesct but with bettman they seemed to have been lost over time!
okk guys im gonna tell your right now iginla is one of the classiest players in the nhl to do that it shows how much respect he has for every player he is a great person
its gillis, not gilles you fuck head. Linden is a very special player, who's involved a lot with the community, involved with sick children's families, and he has a very special talent.
This is probably one of the top 3 most memorable games I have ever watched. It just felt so... "civil", for lack of a better word. A lot to celebrate for both teams and it was just an awesome game to watch, even if the Flames did completely dominate the playing aspect of the game.
Not to mention, watching Iginla going out every other shift and trying desperately to score that last goal was hilarious, even as a Calgary fan.
I remember this night. Linden was always a favorite of mine when he came from the Islanders to Montreal. Tried to catch Canuck games after the double headers on CBC just to watch him.
I know that Mr. Linden is way too classy for this, but during that post game love-fest (no sarcasm intended, I loved it)...I wish he would have skated over to the Calgary bench and gave Mike Kennan the finger.
i love how everyone's insult to the canucks is that we have no cup look at Buffalo and the capitals they entered the league at about the same time as the canucks and they have no cup either
i know its pretty funny all the bashing againts the canadian teams too look up canuckssuck,flames suck eventually all six canadian teams will be bashed its really funny becuase they have 24 teams while we have 6 LOL not much of a fight
this game gave too much attention to Trevor, THEY FORGOT ABOUT MARKUS!!-nusland. he was also a great captin and leader for years and he stayed ture to the canucks. FOREVER A CANUCKS - trevor lindin 16 markus nausland 19
r u stupid u actually think linden was better than bure u most be stupid bure did more for the franchise in his short tenure than tervor linden so call leadership stats always wins over heart
grit doesn't mean anything omfg stats is everything y u think penguins won vancouver has the tools to win a cup but we always get screwed over bcuz we have 2 or 3 idiots on the team obiren i w ud trade salo same he's old and some other guy then we have e enough for other players perhaps ilya
lol i guess thats y vancouvernever won anything lol till u talk we w'll gilles is a smart mman and i bet u he will trade o brien and salo and mid season we have ilya we finnally have a smart gm
Now that shows no matter what the Calgary Flames Players have respect. Thanks to the Vancouver fans for cheering Iginla's goal. That is a night to remember. The Vancouver fans showed class, but however this year we will try to beat each other to a pulp.Enjoy your retirement Linden thankfully you won't bother us anymore on the ice Jk. Take Care.Go Flames Go!!!!
Naslund doesn't deserve a tribute. Just because he scored a lot of points for a couple of seasons doesn't make him worthy of a tribute on par or even close to the one Linden got. Naslund was skill for 3-4 seasons, Linden was heart and soul for 20!
Linden was heart and soul. All you have to do is look at Game 6/7 of the Stanley Cup finals when he was playing with torn rib cartiledge, but he still kept playing, and scored 2 goals in game 7. Naslund had a booboo on his elbow and that effectively ended his career as a top player in the league.
Naslund had 4 great seasons, but was merely average after that. He wasn't a character player. And notice how since Naslund left, Luongo took over that luxury box for underpriviledged kids?
Where did Naslund say he wanted to retire in Vancouver? I remember for several years he held the team hostage threatening to go back to retire and go back to Sweden. I'm glad we never offered im a contract, because in his final days here Naslund was a bum. He was a line anchor and brought down his linemates, and then threw his former teammates under the bus in an interview after he left. Oh yeah, and he sulked and refused to play AV's system. Yeah, some leader. Naslund is a joke!
hostage? oh u mean the contract negotiations where he signed for $6mill a year after winning MVP the year before...while guys putting up similar stats like forsberg and sundin were makin more than $11 million...i understand now
yeah right naslunds a bum, linden was a healthy scratch most the games in his final year...i think he had a whopping 7 goals??
This just goes to show you have no clue what you're talking about. The individual salary cap maximum for players that year was $7.8M, not 11. Naslund hadn't won the MVP and has never won the Hart trophy. He won the Pearsson in 02-03, not 03-04.
Linden's skills had diminished, so he accepted a lesser role. Naslunds skills diminished too, but he refused to accept a lesser role, and sulked when asked to play defense. Oh yeah, he captained a team to a divided lockerroom in 05-06.
contracts signed pre- lockout were still valid until they ran out, therefore the max didnt apply to those contracts genius. Yes he won it in 02-03, he wouldve won it again in 03-04 if he didn't get cheapshotted by steve moore, as he was the leading scorer in the league up to that point
fyi, the pearson is awarded to the MVP as voted by the players
let's take a look at player salaries from that year shall we
yashin-$8.4 mill
forsberg-$11 mill
naslund-$5.2 mill..that seems good for an MVP TO ME
LOL, if you think a players salary has any bearing on whether or not they win MVP I really can't help you. And with respect to salaries post-lockout, everyone had a 24% salary rollback. The only player earning above the max was Jagr.
And you can't say Naslund would have won MVP in 03-04. Remember the year before when he CHOKED away the division, the art-ross and richard? And how was his play in round 3 of the playoffs? Oh yeah....he never got there
how would u no what happened in the locker room? the canucks have the upmost respect for him and all his teammates say how classy he is
find me 1 piece of info of the canucks ever saying anything bad about naslund as a leader of that he refused to accept a lesser role and you win this argument
There was a report in the Province newspaper back in 06 from former Canucks players who had reported of the lockerroom divide. It's also obvious by the teams play that they weren't all on the same page that year. And, based on watching Naslund play and sulk on the ice, it's obvious his heart wasn't in it after his boyfriend Bertuzzi was traded away.
You may be a Naslund fanboy because when you started watching hockey he was good, but that doesn't mean he deserves to have his jersey retired
i bring up facts, you bring up things you claim to have heard and seen over the years(no actual proof, facts or links) to defend your case of linden being better than naslund
this hard on you have trev is getting kinda ridiculous
LOL. It was in the province newspaper, but I'm not going to waste my time looking it up. Summer of 2006. Go look it up yourself.
And what facts? Your facts were wrong. My facts include Naslund never being past round 2, my facts include media reports, my facts include results, my facts include actually watching him play and judging his demeanour.
anyways this is going nowhere. You're obviously a fanboy over your childhood hero ZOMG NAZLUND SICK WRISTSHOT. Hodgson will wear 19. EAT IT
i like how you didn't respond to my part of linden gettin 3 points in the 03 playoffs, and 0 POINTS in the 04 playoffs, while nazzy got a point per game
why didn't the great trevor linden lead them to the 3rd round? he couldnt even crack the roster and was forced to retire, nazzy left while still gettin top minutes
Why because you saw him with that jersey at the grouse grind? Schroeder got the same jersey. And I didn't reply because you're too stupid to realize there's a difference between a 3rd line role player and a 1st line captain. Naslund was on the top line, Linden wasn't. What about the 07 playoffs when Linden led the team in scoring?
Naslund was a joke and I guarantee you won't ever have his jersey retired, because he doesn't deserve it!
pretty sure he cared more about his team than his publicity, so he did soemthing like that... you dont see Iginla playing with torn mcl's or coming back from a broken jaw in three days
Jarome Iginla is a great leader and has great class without a doubt... but alfie is honestly the true definition of a captain... hes classy, fights threw big injuries to suffer with his team, gives his heart out, hell of a player, never gives up... and the list continues.....
was very good player, his worthy shouldt measure with /on the points.

Now that shows no matter what the Calgary Flames Players have respect. Thanks to the Vancouver fans for cheering Iginla's goal. That is a night to remember. The Vancouver fans showed class, but however this year we will try to beat each other to a pulp.Enjoy your retirement Linden thankfully you won't bother us anymore on the ice Jk. Take Care.Go Flames Go!!!!

love you naslund!!
where the f*ck was his tribute?!?!
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
Naslund doesn't deserve a tribute. Just because he scored a lot of points for a couple of seasons doesn't make him worthy of a tribute on par or even close to the one Linden got. Naslund was skill for 3-4 seasons, Linden was heart and soul for 20!
canucks2k 2 years ago
oh naslund wasn't heart and soul eh? what your definition of heart and soul...someone who fights and hits? players like that come a dime a dozen..
look no further than game 7 in 2004 vs calgary, naslund take the puck end to end in the final seconds to set up the play that ties the game.
and off ice, how about nazzy's suite 19...a luxury box paid for personally by markus so underpriviledged kids could watch a game.
Naslund was heart and soul, on and off the ice.
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
Linden was heart and soul. All you have to do is look at Game 6/7 of the Stanley Cup finals when he was playing with torn rib cartiledge, but he still kept playing, and scored 2 goals in game 7. Naslund had a booboo on his elbow and that effectively ended his career as a top player in the league.
Naslund had 4 great seasons, but was merely average after that. He wasn't a character player. And notice how since Naslund left, Luongo took over that luxury box for underpriviledged kids?
canucks2k 2 years ago
that booboo was a hyperextended elbow, and nazzy played through the pain the rest of the season
that injury will affect any sniper in the NHL,just like bad knees impaired bure's speed and a bad foot made forsberg's play go down
thats great for luongo, if its true, its too bad he said he "wants to go the team with the best chance of winning the cup"
naslund said he wanted to retire in vancouver
too bad they didnt even offer him a contract
after 12 years, i think he deserves more respect than that
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
Where did Naslund say he wanted to retire in Vancouver? I remember for several years he held the team hostage threatening to go back to retire and go back to Sweden. I'm glad we never offered im a contract, because in his final days here Naslund was a bum. He was a line anchor and brought down his linemates, and then threw his former teammates under the bus in an interview after he left. Oh yeah, and he sulked and refused to play AV's system. Yeah, some leader. Naslund is a joke!
canucks2k 2 years ago
hostage? oh u mean the contract negotiations where he signed for $6mill a year after winning MVP the year before...while guys putting up similar stats like forsberg and sundin were makin more than $11 million...i understand now
yeah right naslunds a bum, linden was a healthy scratch most the games in his final year...i think he had a whopping 7 goals??
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
This just goes to show you have no clue what you're talking about. The individual salary cap maximum for players that year was $7.8M, not 11. Naslund hadn't won the MVP and has never won the Hart trophy. He won the Pearsson in 02-03, not 03-04.
Linden's skills had diminished, so he accepted a lesser role. Naslunds skills diminished too, but he refused to accept a lesser role, and sulked when asked to play defense. Oh yeah, he captained a team to a divided lockerroom in 05-06.
canucks2k 2 years ago
contracts signed pre- lockout were still valid until they ran out, therefore the max didnt apply to those contracts genius. Yes he won it in 02-03, he wouldve won it again in 03-04 if he didn't get cheapshotted by steve moore, as he was the leading scorer in the league up to that point
fyi, the pearson is awarded to the MVP as voted by the players
let's take a look at player salaries from that year shall we
yashin-$8.4 mill
forsberg-$11 mill
naslund-$5.2 mill..that seems good for an MVP TO ME
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
LOL, if you think a players salary has any bearing on whether or not they win MVP I really can't help you. And with respect to salaries post-lockout, everyone had a 24% salary rollback. The only player earning above the max was Jagr.
And you can't say Naslund would have won MVP in 03-04. Remember the year before when he CHOKED away the division, the art-ross and richard? And how was his play in round 3 of the playoffs? Oh yeah....he never got there
canucks2k 2 years ago
yeah, its naslund's fault his TEAM didn't get past the 2nd round.
Even though he had a point per game...
might i remind you that trevor linden was on that team too
if he's such a magnificent leader, why didnt he single-handedly take them to the conference finals?
cant wait to hear your answer on this one
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
how would u no what happened in the locker room? the canucks have the upmost respect for him and all his teammates say how classy he is
find me 1 piece of info of the canucks ever saying anything bad about naslund as a leader of that he refused to accept a lesser role and you win this argument
until then, you're an idiot
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
There was a report in the Province newspaper back in 06 from former Canucks players who had reported of the lockerroom divide. It's also obvious by the teams play that they weren't all on the same page that year. And, based on watching Naslund play and sulk on the ice, it's obvious his heart wasn't in it after his boyfriend Bertuzzi was traded away.
You may be a Naslund fanboy because when you started watching hockey he was good, but that doesn't mean he deserves to have his jersey retired
canucks2k 2 years ago
ha im a fanboy?
i bring up facts, you bring up things you claim to have heard and seen over the years(no actual proof, facts or links) to defend your case of linden being better than naslund
this hard on you have trev is getting kinda ridiculous
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
LOL. It was in the province newspaper, but I'm not going to waste my time looking it up. Summer of 2006. Go look it up yourself.
And what facts? Your facts were wrong. My facts include Naslund never being past round 2, my facts include media reports, my facts include results, my facts include actually watching him play and judging his demeanour.
anyways this is going nowhere. You're obviously a fanboy over your childhood hero ZOMG NAZLUND SICK WRISTSHOT. Hodgson will wear 19. EAT IT
canucks2k 2 years ago
haha hodgsons wearing #9...
i like how you didn't respond to my part of linden gettin 3 points in the 03 playoffs, and 0 POINTS in the 04 playoffs, while nazzy got a point per game
why didn't the great trevor linden lead them to the 3rd round? he couldnt even crack the roster and was forced to retire, nazzy left while still gettin top minutes
anyways, good night little man...
enjoy jackin off to ur trevor linden hockey cards
ooglyboogly24 2 years ago
Why because you saw him with that jersey at the grouse grind? Schroeder got the same jersey. And I didn't reply because you're too stupid to realize there's a difference between a 3rd line role player and a 1st line captain. Naslund was on the top line, Linden wasn't. What about the 07 playoffs when Linden led the team in scoring?
Naslund was a joke and I guarantee you won't ever have his jersey retired, because he doesn't deserve it!
canucks2k 2 years ago
pretty sure he cared more about his team than his publicity, so he did soemthing like that... you dont see Iginla playing with torn mcl's or coming back from a broken jaw in three days

Jarome Iginla is a great leader and has great class without a doubt... but alfie is honestly the true definition of a captain... hes classy, fights threw big injuries to suffer with his team, gives his heart out, hell of a player, never gives up... and the list continues.....
