Trevor Linden's Jersey Retirement Ceremony - Banner Raising [12/17/08]

[Faeiv]

When Trevor Linden retired I cried, how the hec am I supposed to react when the Sedin's retire? To me, Trevor was an amazing hero and now, the Sedin's are also TWO amazing twin hero's.

[Faeiv]

@Dpesh7 Just shows how much appreciation Vancouver has for our players in our franchise. Trevor Linden was an amazing classy player. "Trevor Linden has more points against the Edmonton Oilers then any other team in the league." LMFAO! You mad?

[Theguitardude30]

Linden and Nazzy are GODS to us Canucks

[MrKojoman]

Then came Markus Naslund. The next Canucks to retire their numbers will be the Sedins, hopefully. If they do, they'll be the first pair of twins to retire their jersey numbers.

[Dpesh7]

is this a joke, the oil retire gretzky, messier, coffey, you guys retire linden. lol, what a joke.

[TheCasualTea]

@Dpesh7 This guy is a LEGEND in Vancouver. He deserves this :)

[flyingmonkeys0]

@Dpesh7 Great guy for the Canucks. Best player for us in my opinion. Maybe no he wasn't as good as Gretzky, but he was a legend in Vancouver.

[ihatepoodles]

Every time I watch this I cry like a baby. I still don't want to believe he's done.

[u8mypanties]

Hey Trevor. I wish you'd see this or one of your buddies that'll tell you and hoping you will.... but having a shady ass loser like Stanmar management looking after your investment here in Penticton is pissing off EVERYONE in our complex because you WONT return calls from the Director of the Mobile home assn. Director regarding shady numbers on our year end statements done by Stan. You're making a 400,000.oo profit a yr off us. Media might like this pal. WAKE UP!!!

[M91Naslund]

dec.11. 2010 MARKUS NASLUND´s big night :D :D

[trevboiii]

wow his wife is hot

[Hexinvir]

he was by far the classiest person ever to play in the NHL.

[u8mypanties]

@Hexinvir : yeah but one hell of a FUCK UP when it comes to who manages his investments for him.

[Rey123Duncan]

this 16..is probably worth more than Gretzky's 99 in Vancouver...this 16 cant be replaced by 99, why? because 16 has been a canuck since his first NHL game..to his last.

[TheTokinbudZ]

@Rey123Duncan

He also played for the Islanders and the Habs.

[Rey123Duncan]

@TheTokinbudZ well ya i know that...i mean he played his first game as a canuck..and his last game as a canuck.

[TheRipperRypien]

Trevor Linden. Secret dinosaur?

[volumptusvixn]

Greatest hockey player to ever play the game - no one's got this much heart for the game and the community that keeps it alive.

[alexkonvict]

lol they have the jurrasic park music as the banner raises

[ernieballsting]

@alexkonvict ohh hells yes man hahahah

[VCanucks1]

I got his autograph like 1 week before this!

YOU ROCK TREV! FOREVER A CANUCK~!!!

[2WIREG]

[vince0123]

good part is that the fans didnt care about who won, but to watch this

[39canucks]

[Eshawn288]

[1993devin]

[MrSkullbass]

@hockeyqueen I'm crying as I watch it right now. The answer is no.

[dnasty312]

The greatest honor for the greatest of all Canucks!

[trevor8930]

trevor linden is awesome, and that was a great ceromony, but why did they play the jurrassic park theme when they raised his number into the rafters

[EvilJkerz]

cuz it owns and he owns

think about it

Jurassic park theme=OWNS

Linden=OWNS

LINDEN=JURASSIC PARK THEME!!! :O

YES I KNOW ITS WEIRD LOL!

[VOLKSN8R]

THE GAME IS OVER!

[wesupportnileyx]

i like trevor linden.

i'm a NEW canuck fan.

seriously like i became a fan on december 18th [thursday] Only cause Mats Sundin is going to be on the team :D

[00StangGT00]

i still can't believe how stupid some people are that they think when they crowd says "luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" they think they're booing.

[mccabber24]

I grew up as a Leafs fan, but I lived in Vancouver for a year, and Linden was and always has been one of my favorite players, on both the Canucks and Leafs. he deserves all of this.

and nothing says Linden like

JURASSIC PARK! RAWR!

[Zorn27]

Love you Linden :)

[bertuzzi8]

Linden = God (In Vancouver at least)

[pretypapa]

Geez, people!

some of you are obviously not canuck fans, because why on earth would we boo our goalie!!! we say Luiiiiiiiii, okay?

and when they raised #16, i couldnot stop crying, it was just so emotional!!

now that we have Sundin, if we, hopefully, become cup contenders and win the whole thing, it'll be for Luc Bourdon, and Trevor Linden!!!

Gosh, i am proud to be a Canucks Fan!

[kagomefan101]

Long live Trevor, #16. You'll always be remembered for your hard work and determination! We love you in Van-city!

[bradley321]

Klklklklk, the way you mention us booing Bettman, it's as if you think he is well recieved in other buildings? He always gets the boos. I understand yur probably American and seems like you just wanted an excuse to hate us.

[kllklklklklklklklklk]

No, Actually I am Canadian, and a Canucks fan. I agree that Bettman always gets bood. Hes a jackass. However, its kinda old, and a bit unjustified. i just found it a bad mark on the ceremony. The crowd could have just gone silent instead of booing....there should have been no booing at the ceremony of any kind. But thats just my opinion.

[lpjk123]

i agree with u, they even booed luongo, which i thought to myself, if vancouver wants extend his contract, does booing him help?

[kllklklklklklklklklk]

Thanks for agreeing, but they did not boo Luongo...lol.....They always do a big Luooooooo.

[sdf1983]

they ain't booin', they Louin'....

[Eshawn288]

very emotional...

Trevor Linden is my fav Canuck...

I wish i had his last game jersey..

[Dalbinder101]

i was so pissed the power went out at my house in the middle of Trevors speech and didn't come back on until the middle of the first period.

[trekkie604]

I'm in the process of uploading the whole thing in HD. Patience ;)

[Dalbinder101]

no this was the part i wanted to see. im just saying i was so pissed because i was waiting the whole day to watch it on tv, live and then the power went out. But i was so thankful that at least somebody uploaded it. so thank you.

[ImKoolWithThis]

@Dalbinder101 lol

[JeremyLimDotCa]

So proud.

[dlock12]

not even a nuk fan. but hell. i gotta give it up to this guy

[orlsonvan]

Trevor, thank you for all that you've done.

[kllklklklklklklklklk]

It was a great ceremony. Very well done. Trevor's speech was spot on. I would like to however thank all the loser fans in the building that boo'd Bettman. What the fuck? I know that he is a little twit, but that mass boo was uncalled for, and embarrassing. Typical that you can't put a bunch of Vancouverites in a building and expect them to act with class. They also boo'd when the ref stopped the game to check on the Edm goalie..what fukin losers. He got hit in the neck for fucks sake.

[dfowls]

Bettman gets booed in every single rink in the league and has been for years. And Roloson is the biggest whiny bitch in the league, that shot obviously stung him but he told the ref to stop play because he wanted to give his pk guys a rest not because he was in so much pain he couldn't stand.

[kllklklklklklklklklk]

Thanks. I did not know that roloson was a biatch. However, I don't think that the crowd should ever boo an injury stoppage. Remember that loser that bood juring the moment of sin=lence for the Princess Pats that were killed in that freindly fire incident way back. Don Cherry ripped the Canucks fans for that and we deserved it. Since then I have been a bit sensitive to how our fans that go to GM place make us look as a whole. Also, the crowd should'nt have bood Bett just this once...

[pretypapa]

i've been a canucks fan, since i was seven! and i just loved it when they rised the banner, actually cried! Linden will forever be remembered as a canuck!

loved the game tonight, btw!!

Go CANUCKS Go!!!!

[phommahaxay]

The banner raising was very emotional. I love the audio background during the raising.

[JeremyLimDotCa]

... Jurassic Park?

[canucks16]

haha possibly

[mccabber24]

Ya I noticed that too...how....odd

[phommahaxay]

Like how they did the announcing stuff down memory lane.

[yyourfacee]

yeah, I agree, trevor linden definately deserves at least one ring..it hurts to see him retire as a player without winning the cup..but all the same, his work on and off the ice was amazing and his work off the ice will continue to be amazing, I am sure.

[pbure94]

not one ring, wata shame, great player TL forever a canuck

[luongo193]

Congrats Trev. You are a truly class act and one in a million.

[sylviachiu92]
